SCOUTS SA's Leaders talk Sustainable Consumption
With the development of a new triennial plan for the organization we needed training to enable the national, regional and youth leadership to talk about environmental challenges, share sustainable ideas, and work towards a greener future as part of SCOUTS South Africa’s continued commitment to contribute towards the global Sustainable Development Goals and play a key role in building a more sustainable future within our local communities.
SCOUTS South Africa’s senior leaders and youth from across the country came together at the Gillwell Scout Training Centre in Johannesburg to learn about sustainable consumption, the circular economy model, and discuss how Scouting in South Africa can increase its practices around sustainable consumption and the circular economy and include it in the organization’s strategic triennial plan going forward.
The key concepts of sustainable consumption and the circular economy. Explored how our daily consumption choices affect our planet . Participants discussed how as an organization we can help raise awareness because if we want our young people to be part of the solution and adopt sustainable practices, they need to understand what this involves. It also included discussions on actions we as an organization can take into account within our programmes, facilities and events.
