Queensland Scouts for the Sustainable Development Goals

Young people around the world are transforming their communities by taking action for peace and sustainability. Here at Scouts Queensland we are all about developing solid citizens and future leaders. This is certainly an important goal especially when we consider the spirit of our communities at this time.

To help guide us in this endeavour we subscribe to the Scouts for SDGs program. Scouts for SDGs?is the world’s largest coordinated youth activation involving 50 million young people in two million local actions related to the 17 Goals and delivering an additional three billion hours of community service for the SDGs. We recognise that through our program, actions and operations, we can support sustainable development – meeting our needs now without compromising future generations’ capability to meet their own needs.

Our aims include driving for action on climate change, supporting equity in our communities, preserving our natural environment, delivering quality non-formal education programs and many other initiatives by Scouts from across Australia. Through our action we demonstrate our values and commitment, and hope to inspire our local communities to join us in creating a better world.

Follow along over the next few weeks as we show how, at Scouts Queensland, we support the Sustainable Development Goal.
