Happy Earth Day from all of us at !

For , the outdoors aren’t just where adventures start – they’re where confidence grows, invaluable memories are made, skills take shape, friendships form and young leaders learn to care for the world around them. From , to those in , to lifelong and everyone between, we have a duty to protect, preserve and keep the great outdoors great for generations to come.

Our programs emphasize skills, values and practices that safeguard the outdoors – and our Scouts bring those skills, values and practices to life.

Through initiatives like Scouting for Clean Waterways, Scouts learn: 1) that their actions make a physical impact and 2) how to care for our planet and all the living things on it. Our partnerships – with the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, the NOAA Marine Debris Program and CleanHub – allow Scouts to learn more about all waterways (from small streams to vast seas) and reduce marine debris better.

In fact – thanks to our partnership with CleanHub – the plastic that Scouts collect is matched pound for pound. When Scouts clean up tens of thousands of pounds of plastic, CleanHub collects the equivalent amount of plastic waste in the Global South, preventing it from ever reaching the environment. Together we're making a BIG difference to decrease plastic pollution.

Whether it’s practicing Leave No Trace, treating our pets and wildlife with respect, helping keep parks and waterways clean or simply choosing to leave a place better than you found it, every act of stewardship matters. At Scouting America, we’re on a mission to help prepare youth – for life – and we are proud of all the positive, outdoors-focused service youth engage in across the country. The future is bright!
