CALAUAG EAST DISTRICT SCOUTS GO GREEN PROJECT
CED BSP leading to a greener and healthier environment!
To support the National Office's Scouts Go Green Project, the Boy Scouts Philippines Quezon Council held a simultaneous tree planting with the goal that each scout will plant and nurture at least one tree as a contribution to BSP thrust of planting one million trees in a year.
The Scouts and Scouters of Calauag East District supported and responded to this environmental calling under the guidance of the District Scout Commissioner, Sctr. Meilani L. Adan, BSP School Head-in-Charge, Sctr. Rossano P. Bernal, DTL Icel Jonah A. Pelagio, and DKL Clara Mae I. Mirabel. Registered scouts from each school of CED joined together with the trees that were ready to be planted. The parents stated that their children are excited to wear their uniforms again but are more excited to participate in the tree planting. Teachers also instructed the parents to orient their children on why it is important to plant trees. Young scouts planted in their backyards while teachers and adult leaders planted around the school premises. In some schools, all who participated in the tree planting activity received a Certificate of Participation. Each school tree planting activity provided the educators with the opportunity to inspire everyone to inculcate positive changes in their school and their community.
All registered scouts of Calauag East District are invited to join and enjoy scouting activities that will enhance their skills and habits even amidst pandemic.
As per Tracking Record on Ecological Excellence thru Scouting (TREES Form) submitted by each school, Calauag East District Scouts and Scouters planted several fruit-bearing trees and indigenous and endemic trees such as Narra trees, mahogany trees, guava trees, calamansi trees, jackfruit trees, chico trees, cacao trees, mango trees, and coconut tree.
