Ukrainian Scouts Reunion 2024
Donation protected
I am Maryna Kliuchnikova, a dedicated Ukrainian scout from Kyiv, affiliated to the "Ilja Muromez scout team," part of the National Organization of Scouts of Ukraine (WOSM).
Currently because of the war about half of our participants are scattered around the world, mostly in Europe. Many of our families are struggling to survive, living in a war economy providing for 3-5 children.
We hope by God’s grace to give these children a memorable adventure, to recharge their physical and emotional batteries by spending time in a peaceful place, give them hope and joy of seeing old friends.
To do so we join international camps, organized by European scouts. In summer 2022 we joined VCP (Verband Christlicher Pfadfinder*innen) for an international jamboree (BuLa) in Germany (we gathered 37 young Ukrainians from 11 countries), in summer 2023 we participated in VCP/BdP project called BuFa in Sweden (gathered 34 Ukrainian children and youth from 6 countries).
Help us to include low-income families this summer, 2024!
This year we would like to join Landeslager in Germany organized by BdP (Bund der Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder). Our BdP coordinators and friends are working on securing a grant for us that would cover the cost of the camp. Still the travelling cost per participant from Kyiv is estimated at about 500 euros. We are planning a group of 40 participants. 80% of the people that have registered so far can only participate if there is a discount of minimum of 200 euros.
This means raising 6000 euros to make it possible for our young scouts to participate.
The event is called Landeslager, it will take place in Germany in Baden-Württemberg, which is close to Villingen-Schwenningen: 26.07.2024 to 04.08.2024. Targeted age group from 10 years.
The funds will be distributed to Maryna Kliuchnikova who will ensure they are redistributed to support this cause
PS. We have successfully conducted Scouts reunion last summer with the help of your generous donations!
