PROJECT PROPOSAL
School Year 2014-2015
I. TITLE: BSP Going Green Project with the theme "Plant today, Save tomorrow!"
II. RATIONALE
Trees are essential to our world and offer a wide range of benefits to our environment. The
benefits from these trees spread far beyond villages to our homes in Cities, School and Communities
as well. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban
settings.
In the efforts to preserve, conserve and protect Mother Nature, and ultimately the Earth, the
school's BSP came up with the idea of conducting a tree planting activity. Tree planting is the most
effective and relevant way to do it. With tree planting, even a small effort makes a huge difference in
leaving an on-going environmental legacy in life. As a result of participating in this activity, the troop
leaders and more importantly the scout members can achieve a sense of satisfaction and
accomplishment, knowing that they can made a positive difference. In addition, the activity enables
great team interaction among the leaders and members while having fun and giving back to the
environment. Moreover, the leaders and the members become more ecologically aware on the things
they need to notice the world around. BSP, on its part, shall identify the planting sites within the
political jurisdiction of the Local Government Unit (LGU); provide manpower, coordinate with LGUs
in the implementation of safety and security measures among the participants during the tree planting
activity; mobilize its members; monitor all the areas identified and planted.
With the aforementioned statements, the project leader is motivated to conduct a three-hour Going
Green Project with a theme "Plant today, Save tomorrow!" among scout leaders and members of the
the school. This activity is an environmental education project. By doing this activity the BSP
members will discover awareness on the importance of tree planting, and establish a connection to
nature and while learning what they can contribute to save the future. Thus, like trees freshly planted,
their work will pay forward the investment for years to come. Furthermore, this activity raises the
value of friendship, unity, and cooperation. Finally, this three-hour tree planting activity is also our
way of addressing disaster risk reduction and mitigating the effects climate change.

III. OBJECTIVES
