Clean Up Australia Day 2018
Will you be participating this year?
Clean Up Australia Day is on this Sunday, 4th March! Don’t forget to register your Scouts site.
Join Scouts, community members and businesses across the country as we clean up our local parks, waterways, beaches and bushlands. All Scout Groups are strongly encouraged to sign up their site under the ‘youth’ category (please include the word Scout or Scouts in your site name). Make this the year Scouts have the most clean up sites and participants! Visit the Clean Up Australia Day website to sign up your local clean up site, or to join an existing one.
This is a great way for youth members to participate in some community service in the outdoors, enjoying and protecting our natural areas. As a bonus, you can earn hours towards your Landcare Australia badge (all sections), as well as environment or service hours in your award scheme.
On the day, we would love to get your photos; you can share them on our Scouts Australia Environment Program Facebook Page, or on Instagram tagging @scouts.australia, @cleanupaustralia, and the hashtag #cleanupaustraliaday. See the Clean Up Australia Day website for more information.
Don’t forget to register this activity towards your Messengers of Peace contribution!
