SCENES

Blue Springs Scout Reserve is proud to be the first Canadian Scout Camp to receive Certification as a SCENES Centre by the "World Scout Organization".

SCENES (Scout Centres of Excellence for Nature and the Environment) is a project of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) aimed at establishing a network of locations throughout the world to strengthen the three fundamental roles of Nature and Environment in Scouting:

1. Education through nature and the environment
2. Learning about nature and the environment
3. Action for nature and the environment

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 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.
