SCOUTS FOR CLEANER BHUTAN
I was motivated to organise this initiative to promote environmental conservation through active Scout participation. I also wanted to dedicate 20 days of community service in honour of His Royal Highness Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck’s birth anniversary. By selling the collected scrap materials, we raised funds to provide free tea and biscuits to elderly people on the final day, combining environmental conservation with kindness, generosity, and community service.This project was organized by me
The 20-day initiative began with organising volunteers and preparing cleaning materials, followed by cleaning riverbanks, Kharbandi Goenpa surroundings, and public areas across Phuentsholing. Volunteers collected, sorted, and sold scrap materials to raise funds. On the final day, the funds were used to provide free tea and biscuits to elderly people, combining environmental conservation with community care and kindness.
Through this initiative, I learned the importance of teamwork, leadership, environmental responsibility, and community service. I also realised that even small contributions, such as collecting and selling scrap materials, can make a meaningful difference in the community by supporting those in need and showing kindness and compassion towards elderly people.
