As Scouts we are considerate about the environment, doing what we can to live more sustainably. You will have noticed the reusable cups we have been using, but did you know that Gilwell Park has its own solar farm consisting of over 200 solar panels?
Over the weekend of Reunion Scout Adventures have used no diesel powered generators, instead making use of renewable energy. At one point the solar panels were sending power to the stage, the programme zone, external providers, the AGM and still had enough left to export to the National Grid!
Looking to the next 12 months, the plan is to offset all power to both Gilwell Park and Youlbury from the Gilwell Park solar farm, creating a greener future for UK Scouting.
