ABOUT US

Eco-Scout Movement of Ghana is a not-for-profit NGO founded in 2012, aiming to fight and help support climate change adaptation in Ghana. Our founders and team members are well informed about climate change’s current status and state and its effects in Ghana. They are committed to transforming the average Ghanaian mentality regarding issues related to global warming.

Throughout the years, the Eco-Scout Movement has played an essential role in encouraging companies, institutions, and individuals to reduce their carbon footprints by actively participating in activities such as planting trees, leaning towards Renewable energy resources, and improving sanitation conditions. Moreover, our large-scale awareness and education programs have helped provide innovative strategies and solutions that need to be urgently adopted.

While we understand that we alone cannot change the world, we believe that casting a single stone across the waters can create several ripples. The only way we can create a massive impact is if we all work together towards a common cause, with entities such as the District Assembly, Forest Commission, Environmental Protection, Local government, and of course, the common people of Ghana.

Especially with the emergence of the novel COVID-19 Pandemic, we’ve ensured not to let our guard down, and we urge the citizens of Ghana not to do so either. The fight against this pandemic is of Paramount importance as these call for a widespread nutritional change and a mentality change.

Be the change you want to see in the world: Rethink, Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, and Re Plant

Inspired by the Sankofa bird, which means ‘to retrieve’ (literally “go back and get) in the Akan Twi and Fante languages of Ghana, 

We’re reminded to remain steadfast move forward and plant a seed for the Generations to come.

Eco-Scout Movement follows the R5 concept, which uses rethinking, recycling, reusing, reducing, and replanting as the guiding principle to remind us that there is always room to reverse.

We’re focused on initiating school ecological youth clubs, starting Smart Greening Technology projects, and implementing laws on protecting and conserving our beaches, bird’s heritage, Mangroves, and renewable energy resources. As the effects of climate change and global warming continue to rise and affect every aspect of our lives, the Eco-Scout Movement’s strategy is to ensure that Ghanaians don’t lose sight of what can be done and take real action on these grave issues.
