24.01.2022 While NAIDOC Week comes to a close, we encourage you to continue celebrating the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Maybe next time you go on a Scouting adventure, take some time to learn about the Traditional Owners of the land you are visiting. As Scouts, we’re grateful to do our Scouting in this country; we commit to use its resources wisely, and develop our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

17.01.2022 Earlier this year, members of Scouts Croatia supported our Bushfire Relief Campaign with thousands of dollars in donations. Since 2018, Scouts Croatia have themselves been managing the reforestation campaign Boranka to help in reforestation activities in parts of Croatia burned by wildfires, which devasted hundreds of thousands of acres of forests. In the campaign, Scouts gathered huge support and gained great public and media visibility which resulted in more than 2,500 vo...lunteers planting more than 25,000 new trees in 8 weeks of reforestation actions. We're now calling on your support to plant a virtual tree for our friends in Croatia. Show your green thumbs here https://bit.ly/borankasupport
