Scouts Trash the Trash Day is an international Messengers of Peace project for Scouts around the world, where each Scout is challenged to bring a friend or family member along and pick up at least one Kilo (2.2 pounds) of trash each on the first Saturday in May.
Scouts Trash the Trash Day is about more than just cleaning our planet, it is a day to show the world what Scouting is about, educate individuals about Scouting and recruit new boys, girls and adults into the Scouting movement.
To participate in this day of service, Scout groups are asked to organize their own Trash clean up day on the First Saturday in May. May 5th this year.
Scout groups do not need to register for this event, but we ask you to in order to measure the impact of Scouts on this world trash clean-up event.
Registration is simple, just go to our web site www.scoutstrashthetrashday.org . Our site is in five languages; English, French, German, Russian and Portuguese.
