On September 20, 2025, the Scouts and Guides of Grade X from Chubby Cheeks Spring Valley High School proudly took part in a Coastal Beach Cleaning Activity held at Calangute Beach. The students reported at the site at 7:30 a.m., ready and eager to contribute to a cleaner, greener coastline.

This meaningful initiative was part of a larger national environmental movement spearheaded by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India. The event was organized in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Climate Change, Goa, the Goa State Biodiversity Board, the Goa State Climate Change Cell, the Village Panchayat of Calangute, the Biodiversity Management Committee, and the Indian Coast Guard.

The morning began with a brief introduction to the objective of the activity, emphasizing the significance of marine conservation and the environmental threats posed by coastal pollution. Instructions were given to the participants, followed by the strategic allocation of cleaning zones along the beach to ensure thorough coverage.

Working in teams, students cleared trash, collected plastic waste, and separated recyclables. The hands-on activity not only contributed to a cleaner beach but also served as a powerful lesson in civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. The students demonstrated dedication, teamwork, and discipline—qualities at the heart of the Scouts and Guides movement.

Through this initiative, Chubby Cheeks Spring Valley High School reinforced its commitment to shaping environmentally responsible citizens. The experience left a strong impact on the participants, instilling in them a deeper appreciation for nature and the urgent need to protect it.

With the support of national and state environmental bodies, and the guidance of their mentors and teachers, these young volunteers proved that even small acts of service can lead to big changes for our planet.
