Avon Scouts Take Action for Earth Week!

Date: 17th Apr 2025 Author: Cathy Harding

As part of their Earth Tribe Award,A group in Avon,  Stoke Gifford Scouts rolled up their sleeves and took to the local parks for a community litter pick!

With high spirits and helping hands, the Scouts collected several large bags of rubbish—making a visible difference and earning heartfelt thanks from local residents.

Before heading out, they learned about the dangers of plastic pollution and what really happens to the waste we throw away.

Scout Leader Phelpsie shared:

“The comments from local residents were a great boost and we were happy to be involved in the community and give back.”

Are your young people getting involved this #EarthWeek? We’d love to hear about the eco-friendly activities your section is planning!
