In 2008 a total of four Portable Scout Nurseries have been set up.  These four comprise the pilot implementation for the portable nurseries.  At least six other BSP Councils have so far been identified as candidate recipients of Portable Scout Nurseries in 2009.

With the portable nurseries regularly and sufficiently producing tree seedlings and saplings, tree planting activities can be easily and regularly organized at the grassroot levels.  The Portable Scout Nurseries are expected to supply the tree seedling/sapling requirements for tree planting activities of local BSP organizations, educational institutions, local government units, and non-governmental organizations in hundreds of towns and cities nationwide.

The Go Green! project office managed by the BSP Program Division will regularly send Seed Capital to sustain the tree seedling productions of the various Portable Scout Nurseries.

In 2008, the BSP Program Division shipped the first batch of “Seed Capital” to four BSP Councils for an aggregate total of 21,500 seeds.  These “seed capital” are to be used by the recipient Councils in putting up their own mini-Go Green! Tree Nurseries in their respective facilities.

The first recipients of the Go Green! Seed Capital are the following:

Quezon Council — 5,000 Mahogany Seeds

Manila Council — 1,500 Mahogany Seeds

Camarines Norte Council — 5,000 Mahogany Seeds

BSP Makiling Camp — 10,000 Assorted Seeds

Each shipment of Go Green! Seed Capital comes complete with plastic bags/pouches and basic tree nursery tools and implements.

Several other BSP Councils are scheduled to receive their respective Seed Capital in 2009.    There are currently 109 BSP Councils nationwide.
