For more than a century, the Boy Scouts of America has been a leader in conservation. In the next 100 years, Scouting is taking the initiative to a new level from stewardship to sustainability, and from “Leave No Trace” to leaving the world a better place.
So, what guides sustainable thinking at the BSA?
- Demonstrating practices consistent with BSA organizational values of thrift and resourcefulness by reducing the energy and water our activities require.
- Practicing good stewardship of human communities by providing healthy and attractive workplaces for our employees and volunteers.
- Practicing good stewardship of the natural communities in which the BSA operates by enhancing natural system function and biodiversity.
- Expanding the principles of Leave No Trace camping by carefully considering how the BSA uses materials and reduces waste within its operations.
- Respecting the generosity of donors through the design of facilities that reduce or eliminate long-term operating costs to the organization.
- Demonstrating leadership in sustainability through measurements and verification of their efforts, communication of their practices, and continual improvement.
These information came from http://www.scoutingnewsroom.org/about-the-bsa/fact-sheets/sustainability-scouting/
There are other facts that is interested for anyone who might be doing research about scouting. Other information such as Programs, Eagle Scouts, Scouting Magazine, etc. has best facts of how the organization help with donation. (Don't quote me on this, I was informed about how things work out.)
