In Colombia, Scouts are putting values of resilience, leadership, and innovation into action. Following the recent earthquake, Scouts have stepped forward to support affected communities, demonstrating that youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but leaders today.

As we recognise International Youth Day, we’re proud to spotlight these young changemakers who are turning compassion into action.

If you’d like to support their Scout-led earthquake response and help them continue their work on the ground, consider making a contribution through the Scout Donation Platform. Link in the World Scout Foundation bio or https://bit.ly/45XVYzu
