On Green Up Day, volunteers head outside to gather trash along the public right of ways, greenbelts, parks. Green Up Day 2025 will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2025. This annual event encourages community members to come together and clean up their neighborhood roads, parks, and waterways.

In 2024, our Vermont communities benefited from more than 13,582 hours of community service completed by Scouts and volunteers – providing an economic benefit of more than $444,540 to our state. Many of Vermont’s State Parks benefitted from Scout service projects preparing them for the summer crowds. Other community service projects included helping to serve food during the holidays at local churches and soup kitchens, providing support at local community events like fairs and town meetings, improvements at community parks, schools, playgrounds, and other town center pieces. In addition, Scouting continues to honor its role as a founding leader in the conservation movement as Vermont youth contributed more than 815 hours to a variety of environmental projects including a large participation in Green Up Day.
