The Recycling Patrol and the Romanian Scouts met for the first time at RoJam 2017.

At the invitation of the Scouts, the Recycling Patrol was one of the partners of the international meeting organized in Cristian, Brasov County, and proposed to the participants two ecological games, WEEEScape Room and the E-Waste Quiz.

The two games challenged the scouts’ creativity, teamwork and communication, and helped them improve their knowledge about the impact of our activities on the environment and the need to become more responsible.

The Scouts have promoted, for generations, alternative education and the development of skills and abilities relevant to the challenges young people have to face in modern day life.

The Recycling Patrol has opened a new road to environmental education in Romania. Thanks to this program, hundreds of kindergartens, schools and high schools have become nuclei of responsible behavior for their communities, and thousands of teachers form pre-school and pupils in the spirit of the European values ​​we aspire to.

For the first time this year, the Recycling Patrol was invited within the Sustainable Development Village to provide participants with a modern perspective on environmentally and socially sound habits – proper collection of electrical waste, promoting recycling, community involvement, interest for knowledge.

The Recycling Patrol has therefore found new Supporters among the Romanian Scouts. Only two weeks before the end of the 2016-2017 edition, e-waste collected by citizens, businesses, and institutions from anywhere in the country to the benefit of the program is becoming more and more important. Anyone who gets rid of electrical waste free of charge with the local collection service until 31 August 2017 helps his local team win one of the national awards.
