While Scouting youth are already known for leading environmental and social causes to benefit the world around them, Scouts Canada’s new Scouts for Sustainability program is taking our impact to the next level by aligning our existing Canadian Path program with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SDGs tie in well with The Canadian Path’s six program areas, youth development goals (SPICES), and Plan-Do-Review. The Scouts for Sustainability program will empower youth to make a difference by encourging adventures with an impact!
There are 54 million Scouts making the world’s largest coordinated youth contribution to the SDGs. Young people around the world are transforming their communities by taking action for peace and sustainability.

Whether your Group is planning a community project, avoiding waste on the trail or looking for ideas, discover best practices, tips, and how-to’s from Scouts Canada’s Youth Spokespersons as they share ways to live more sustainably.
This program is under the patronage of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, which serves as a bridge between Canadians and the vital work of UNESCO—the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Its activities are guided by the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other UNESCO priorities.
