The Salvation Army International Youth and Children

Today is World Environment Day! ⛰️ And today, we share with you the tree-planting initiative at Kenya West Territory! 🥳

During the last day of their Territorial Scout Camp, scouts, officers, and leaders participated in a tree-planting activity as a way of showing an example on environmental stewardship and conservation. 🌳 This took place at Solongo campsite, in celebration of Scout Founder's Day, which commemorates the life and legacy of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement.
