Chip likes clean water

Wednesday 9 July

After a relaxing evening, Wednesday was back to work. Chip learned about the Millennium Development Goals and the Scouts of the World Award. It was really inspiring to hear about the great projects already happening around the World that support the Scouts of the World Award and also the world scouting movement’s millennium development goals. Chip’s going to take all the information back to Canada and get people pumped about it!

After lunch it was time for the youth to give back to the community. Youth were allowed to sign up for various community projects such as tree planting and senior home visiting. Chip’s home depends on clean water in the rivers so he was very interested in taking a tour of a waste water treatment facility.

Here’s a photo of Chip with Deepesh from India. They are about to tell the youth about how a treatment plant works.

Here’s Chip at the entrance stage.

Here’s Chip with Hae Ran from Korea, they both didn’t like the smells very much.

They also went to the river where the treated water was released. We tested the pH of the water. It was better than the bottled whatever that we had! Here’s Chip enjoying the clean water and scenery.



In the evening we had a cultural evening. This was the chance for countries to showcase their culture, traditions with costumes and performances.

Here’s a bunch of photos from the event! Too many to describe!

As usual, more to come from Chip soon!
