Sydney North has some of the most diverse countryside that you could imagine, and we all need to work hard to keep it that way... bush, waterways, wildlife, wildflowers, koalas, birds, shellfish, everything.
Our aim is to help you find out what to do, at home, at Scouts, everywhere, to be aware of what we can do to maintain our environment for the future. There are projects we can do, and lots of different areas that you might be interested in. We're here to help you find out what you can do, individually and as part of your Scouting activities.
Planned Activity Days
Book your Mob, Pack, Patrol, Troop Unit or Crew to participate in the planned Environment days.
