28 Scouts and Rovers from Mpumalanga had a successful Recycling workshop in which they learned how to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle waste they had collected in their communities, from the local taxi rank and the market place in Nelspruit. This project was led by Scouter Sharon Mkhonto; the idea of this project was due to the great success of the recycling day at last year’s Provincial summer camp. The youths were definitely successful in collecting waste, which otherwise would have been burned by the local municipality. In total they collected 40 bags of waste which resulted in a cleaner environment for their community. People that observed the project in Nelspruit were impressed and many enquired about the activity. This gave the Scouts and Rovers the opportunity to talk to their community members about recycling and the importance thereof. After the waste collection the Scouts and Rovers learnt more about the 3R’s and how reducing, reusing and recycling garbage can effectively reduce energy, save resources and ultimately contribute to the preservation of the environment and our planet. The collected waste was then recycled as the creative juices flowed. The Scouts created a variety of art works, some of which are exhibited at the Mpumalanga Scout Center. Through implementing this project, the youthful members were able to see the effects of recycling and of keeping their communities clean firsthand. It gave the Scouts and Rovers more insight in how a small change can have a big impact on the world, be it a change by one individual or as a group. The Group used funding to purchase craft materials, such as glue, scissors, paint, wire and wool. Other funds were used for program design, transport, accommodation, and catering.
