From the perspective of organizational education, the organizational goal is the organic unity of children's future responsibility and current quality cultivation.The contents of practical activities focus on the combination of personal growth and social services under the main line of “green”. The social practice activities by Green Scouts in Japan promote the socialization of children in a multidimensional way, including promoting children's role socialization with a realworld experience, promoting the moral socialization of children through community environmental protection, enhancing children's cognitive socialization through social service activities, and training children's communication socialization through mutual assistance and cooperation. The main paths to carry out social practice activities include adult demonstration and practical guidance, joint education of schools and communities, and online display and publicity.
