Earth Day - Caring for Our Planet
| Category: | Holidays |

This week, people around the world will mark Earth Day - a day to celebrate the planet we call home and to remember our duty to care for it. For Scouts, that message should sound familiar.
We are taught to be clean in our outdoor manners, careful with fire, and conservation-minded. Every time we pick up trash, plant a tree, or teach others to leave no trace, we're keeping a promise - to protect the land, the air, and the water that sustain us all.
As Scouts, we don't just enjoy the outdoors - we help preserve it. Earth Day reminds us that being "prepared" means caring for the Earth so that generations after us can enjoy it too.
