SCOUTS FOR LITERACY
As a Scout living in a community
where many young people struggle
with reading, I was inspired to create
a space where they could access
books and learn together. Il believe
that literacy is the key to opportunity,
and I wanted to help others rise
through reading.
We started by collecting books from
Scout families and local donors. Then,
we cleaned and prepared a small
space in our community center to
serve as the reading corner. Scouts
organized reading sessions and
invited young people to join. The
project was fully led by volunteers
and supported by local partners.
We learned that even small actions
like sharing books can create big
change. Teamwork and community
Support were essential. We also
discovered that many young people
are eager to learn when given the
right tools and space.
