Each Monday, students at the school would bring in household waste that could be recycled, such as paper, plastic and glass. The waste was then collected by the recycling centre for proper disposal. This activity was complimented by a workshop in which reusable bags were made. Titled the "Bolsas con Historia" (Bags that tell a story) project, the school donated fabric to a psychiatric hospital, so that patients could sew reusable bags for the students. The bags were then distributed to students and with the help of their families, they decorated the bags with slogans or symbols that best represented what the Environment means to them.

In September, the headquarters opened with a walk to collect waste in the "Quebrada Altavista y La Cangreja" in Medellín, an urban green zone in the centre of the city. This waste was then put through the "Mini Relleno Sanitario" process and used to create recycled waste based bricks. The community benefited by becoming aware of the necessity of waste reduction, observing different farming alternatives, wastewater purification, reforestation, restoration of eroded soils, forest protection and learning to grow and harvest healthy foods.

2009 - Participant Activities in Latin America & Caribbean Various clean up activities were organised by the Scout Association of Peru throughout 2009. Commencing in February 2 on International World Wetlands Day, a clean up and a tree planting activity was conducted at the Ventanilla Wetlands and Villa Marshes, both located to the north of Lima. Approximately 7 tonnes of waste was collected from the clean up activities. The day also presented the opportunity for Scouts to learn of the importance of conserving wetland ecosystems. Scout groups from Ventanilla, Los Olivos, Ancón, Chorrillos, San Juan de Miraflores and Chiclayom all participated in the event. Later in the year, Scouts across the Lima district came together again to participate in Clean Up the Word Weekend. As part of the weekend's activities, Scouts worked with The Miraflores Municipality, on September 19, to conduct a series of clean ups at selected municipal parks and hold an awareness raising campaign promoting healthy habits such as using bicycles as means of transport. An estimated 1,000 Scouts and members of various community groups took part in the weekend activities.
