The Scouts and Guides of MES Indian School implemented the Seed Pen Project — a creative initiative addressing Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on Land. The programme was implemented under the Ministry of Education and Education's directive through the Qatar Scout Association (QSA), focusing on combating plastic pollution and promoting reforestation. A delegation comprising 25 Scouts and three Guides from MES visited the Qatar Scout Office, and showcased the initiative before QSA commissioner Ghanim al-Kuwari, scout activities consultants Ahmad al-Yousef and Muna al-Mansouri, and other dignitaries. The officials commended the project for its innovative concept and strong alignment with Qatar’s environmental goals. The Seed Pen Project replaced over 1,000 plastic pens with biodegradable seed pens that grow into plants when disposed of in soil — offering a simple yet powerful way to support green efforts. Over 1,000 participants joined the initiative, each pledging to reduce plastic usage and plant trees, reinforcing the students’ role as agents of environmental change. Rajesh K S, overall In-charge of Scouts and Guides, and Blessy Peter M, Guide leader, managed the MES team.
