🌎 Scouts Trash the Trash Day is a global service project that brings Scouts together to clean up their communities.
🗓️ Held on the first Saturday in May, each Scout is challenged to bring a friend or family member and collect at least one kilo (about 2.2 pounds) of trash. The goal is simple: double the impact while caring for our planet.
🧭 The idea started with Scouts from Troop 1206 in Helena, Montana, who noticed that Scouting had many worldwide activity days but none focused on community cleanups.
🤝 Today, Scouts Trash the Trash Day has grown into an international Messengers of Peace project where Scouts around the world work together to make their neighborhoods cleaner while showing others what Scouting is all about.
♻️ It is more than picking up trash. It is service, leadership, and an opportunity to invite others to experience Scouting.
