Youth Scouts at Kanombe in Kicukiro district are dedicated to environmental protection through nature gardening and tree planting in schools and other areas.
The scouts seek to leave the world with more beautiful sceneries like it was naturally created.
Over100 Scouts grouped in what they called Groupe Buffre courage, they say the initiative fits well in their main objectives as said by the leader Maulidi Nyandwi during the voluntary communal service that was done Sunday morning at Kasanze secondary school at Kanombe.
Nyandwi noted; “We participate in the program to create awareness about environmental protection and to provide more protection about it.”
Among other members; Yves Mugiraneza commonly known as Bonheur Okapi Docile as a Scout name said, “I am used to the program of planting trees because its among our objectives as Scouts to beautify the world better than we found it.”
Djuma Nsanzimana in charge of mobilizing Rwandans about the environment said that the campaign is for all Rwandans at all levels.
He said that REMA works with the MINEDUC on environmental protection in a government program; Green School. “The program will create awareness among the young people to understand the importance of environment.”
Scouts were formed together with Guides in 1907 by Lt. Gen Robert Baden Powell.
