Ukraine Scout Support Continues
Scouts are often amongst the first responders during a humanitarian crisis and they are key partners in the delivery and provision of long-term solutions and ongoing support. It’s not hard to understand why. Duty to others is at the heart of the Scout Promise, Scouting itself develops young people as active citizens with the resilience and skills to respond in an emergency, and humanitarian principles resonate strongly with Scout values.
With your support, via the Scout donation platform Scouts are able to respond where communities need it most. We need your support to share our appeal and further boost the emergency funding for Scouts to support those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. Thank you for your generosity. Every donation makes a difference. Please continue to share this appeal widely.
At our Impact of Scouting Seminar, during the 74th Baden-Powell Fellowship Event in Dublin, we heard first-hand from Ukrainian Scout and World Scout Committee Member, Nika Gorovska, about Scouting’s crucial role in humanitarian action worldwide, and the incredible Scout response in solidarity with all those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. Hear Nika’s message in the video from the Impact of Scouting Seminar at the 74th Bp Fellowship event in Dublin last month.
I know how many of you have joined this appeal, and I cannot express how grateful I am, and the Ukrainian Scouts are, and our whole global Scout family for your truly meaningful contributions.” Nika Gorovska
With your donations, Scouts in Ukraine and in numerous neighbouring countries are able to coordinate emergency relief; help with critical safety and security; welcome refugees and provide shelter, communications and psychological support. Ukraine Scouts have supported families trapped by war, including through the provision of online classes and activities for children. The appeal target has been increased to enable Scouts to do even more to support the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the region. As always, donations can be counted towards ongoing BP Fellowship. Select the 'count toward my Fellowship' option on the donate page.
