Waste is waste to some people but to some it's an opportunity to put bread on the table.

We've been collecting plastic bottles for recycling ♻️ and today we decided to give them out to someone who makes a living out of recycling.

Today, we join in unity with Scouts from all over the world, to mark the birthday of the founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell. Traditionally, during the weekend closest to the 22nd February, special ‘Founders Day’ gatherings and activities are held to celebrate our Movement and the lasting impact it has had on generations of young people.

Our world today is a very different place to the era when the very first Scout camp took place in 1907. But many of the core challenges and social ills are similar – rapid urbanization, access to education and health care, conflict, youth unemployment and poverty. Scouting was seen as a programme to equip young people with meaningful skills and provide opportunities to overcome such challenging circumstances, whilst empowering them to expand their horizons and learn by doing, in an environment of kindness and encouragement. Today, as a global Movement, Scouting continues this legacy to inspire and create positive change where it is active.

We also take this opportunity to acknowledge and recognise our members for their efforts, contributions and achievements during the past year. For nothing of substance is achieved without hard work, dedication and commitment. I congratulate our youth members on their achievements, and congratulate and thank our volunteers being recognised through either service or merit awards. To Groups and Units being recognised through our Star Awards framework, your efforts in providing an active and compelling Scouting programme, have certainly paid dividends.

Scouting greetings and my best wishes to all our members on this Founder's Day. Wherever you are, participate fully and enjoy the activities. Draw inspiration that you are part of the largest and most influential youth organisation the world has ever known. And then let’s take our collective energy and enthusiasm and get out there and make a difference in our communities! Full message from Chief Commissioner Gary Pienaar here: www.scouts.org.za/news
