Hike the Planet

During JOTA-JOTI 2024, over 6,000 Scouts from more than 80 countries came together to take on the “Hike the Planet” challenge. Together, we hiked beyond the circumference of the Earth—nearly doubling our original goal! Every step you took made a difference, showcasing the incredible power of collective action for a greener planet.

What is Hike the Planet all about?

This global campaign invites Scouts everywhere to step outside, explore nature, and contribute to a worldwide effort to protect biodiversity. Participants logged their kilometers on the JOTA-JOTI platform, tracking hikes from short walks in local parks to full-day adventures in the wild. The goal? To hike the equivalent of the Earth’s circumference together while raising awareness about the environment.

Thank you for making Hike the Planet such a meaningful campaign. Our steps are helping to create a greener, more sustainable world! 🌱🌍
