Transatlantic Council BSA Helping the People of Ukraine
Our hearts, prayers, and solidarity, at this terrible hour, are with the Ukrainian people.
As Scouts, we Help Other People at All Times. And every Scout is a Messenger of Peace.
Transatlantic Council BSA actively serves Ukraine and several of its neighbors. And each of those countries also has its own national Scouting organization, all of which (along with the BSA) are part of World Scouting.
We are grateful that all Transatlantic Council (TAC) Scouts and their families have been safely evacuated out of Kyiv, Ukraine.
We applaud the many TAC Scouts and leaders who have already found ways to support relief efforts organized to help the people of Ukraine.
What can you do? How can you act? You are invited to respond. Now.
Support the emergency humanitarian relief efforts of the national Scouts in Ukraine and its neighbors. Scouts in those countries are offering their own help, providing immediate supplies and necessities, and coordinating response efforts of others. World Scouting is raising funds for that effort here:
Become a Messenger of Peace. Use these World Scouting resources to help your Scouts understand how important this path can be and what action they can take:
Help your Scouts understand conflict and how to respond. The Scouts in the United Kingdom have posted resources to help with this dialogue.
Help with humanitarian efforts through the Red Cross and United Nations. Consider helping the Red Cross and United Nations Refugee Agency which are leading relief efforts in Ukraine.
