Please take a moment and share this to your page. The WOSM is coordinating with the Ukrainian scout organization to distribute funds for humanitarian relief. Our donations will go directly to the citizens of Ukraine and help get them through this terrible event. This is what we as international scouters do for our brothers and sisters around the world.

Edit: The donation is through WOSM, which is a safe and long-established method of donating to the international scouting effort.

An emergency response is being coordinated by the World Organization of the Scout Movement in collaboration with its Eurasia Support Centre and the National Scout Organization in Ukraine to respond to the unfolding humanitarian situation in the country which is impacting millions of people.

Join our Head of Contingent Rick Kagawa for a live Q&A session about the BSA Contingent - World Scout Moot 2022, TODAY at 9PM EDT / 6PM PDT. Joining Rick will be two incredible Scouts that participated in the 2017 Moot in Iceland — Madison Katz and Joey Dierdorf!

During this webinar you can ask everything you’ve wanted to know about the 2022 World Scout Moot but were afraid to ask!
- What is a “Moot”?
- I’ve aged out of Scouting, why should I consider joining the contingent.
- Am I going to have fun in Ireland and actually see the county and get to know the people or will I be part of a tour group just riding around on a bus?
- What exactly is an “International Patrol” and will I be the only American in my group?
- If several friends and I go to the Moot can we tour around Europe before or after the event?
- How do I apply and can I make payments?

Please email your questions to [email protected] and they will either be addressed during the webinar or via email.
