SCENES are places where individual Scouts, Scout units and adult Scout leaders from different parts of the world can discover the rich opportunities offered by nature and the environment. Our intention is to make Scouting more educational, more fun, more attractive and more relevant to young people, Scouts and non-Scouts, today. Operated and managed according to the highest environmental standards, SCENES serve as demonstration sites, providing "hands-on" environmental education opportunities for Scouts.

The SCENES Charter

It is time for young people to play a more active role in creating tomorrow’s world. As a SCENES Centre, open to all without distinction, we encourage:

• the nurturing of the natural environment, by caring for soil, air, water, plants and animals given as precious gifts from the Creator;
• the promotion of quality of life for all human beings by a wise use of natural resources
• the education of young people, by providing useful opportunities to learn and to take an active part in activities that touch the earth and our culture;
• the communication of good ideas, by sharing our best with others and by hearing what others have done in the worldwide SCENES network, and in organisations outside Scouting.
