Mission of the Kapraluv mlyn Scout Environmental Education Centre is to enable first-hand experience of children and youth with the natural world. Surroundings of Kapraluv mlyn are unique textbook of natural history awaiting to win hearts of young readers.

Kaprálův mlýn aspires to be the first Scout Centre of Excellence for Nature and Environment (SCENES) in the post-communist Europe. Reconstruction of a former mill in the core area of the Moravian karst will be financed by EU structural funds. Reconstruction will lead to a model eco-friendly building (low-energy construction standard, solar panels, heat pump, recuperation of wastewater and air). The environmental friendly features will be made accessible to public via internet and on-site. The EU funding demands 20 years of operation of the environmental education (EE) centre.

The reconstruction will lead to enhancement of accommodation capacity to 50 beds. A campground will be available to visiting groups as well. A semi-subterrain hall will be added to the structure. Together with classroom, clubroom, dining room and outdoor laboratory will create enough space for meeting and educational activities.
