EN There are more than 120.000 scouts in Poland, and most of them go camping every year. Some of the camps are located in forests without sanitation facilities. Therefore, the guides organizing the camps must prepare sanitation systems even if they do not have experience in this. Normally, they decide to use easier but often less environmentally friendly solutions, e.g. drinking water from plastic bottles. Polish Scouts are members of a movement that also works for global sustainability. The United Nations, an intergovernmental organization, in 2015 developed the Sustainable Development Goals plan. Achieving these 17 goals and, associated with them, 169 targets means that humans develop in a sustainable way. Sustainable development can meet the needs of current generations without limiting the possibilities of future generations. This is a global issue, but acting locally is also important, and Polish scouts should be concerned. They can reduce their negative impact on the environment, for example, by removing plastic bottles during their camps and using inferior quality water to wash. In this publication, the authors, based on the example of a summer scout camp in Nowa Brda on Lake Babinko, will present how to provide water to 50 people in a water-balanced manner. They will show that in this type of event, ecological solutions can be chosen for the preparation of water.
