Planting Action, Growing Change!
The Boy Scouts of the Philippines united 43 passionate and purpose-driven young leaders at the Makiling National Scout Camp in Los Baños, Laguna from May 21 to 23, 2025, for an inspiring initiative—Green Skills for Youth-Led Climate Action around Green Rising. The activity aimed to empower young people to lead local advocacy efforts and social actions that drive measurable environmental impact.
It emphasizes practical, community-based activities such as tree planting, biodiversity conservation, water and energy conservation, and effective waste management. Through these initiatives, youth are equipped not only with knowledge but also with the hands-on skills necessary to become active environmental stewards.
Over three enriching days, participants explored the heart of community service—learning how to plan projects that matter, align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and apply tools to track and measure the impact of their work. With a vibrant mix of collaboration, critical thinking, and environmental consciousness, this initiative wasn’t just about building capacity—it was about igniting a movement. One that begins with the youth and radiates outward into the world they are ready to lead.
