Emergency response to the crisis in Lebanon – 2026
The war in Lebanon and the suffering of displaced families, especially children, inspired us to launch this emergency response. As Scouts, we believe in solidarity, volunteering and helping people in times of crisis. Our goal was to support affected families, provide essential humanitarian assistance, and create safe spaces where children could receive psychosocial support, play and reconnect with others.
Scout volunteers supported displaced families by preparing shelters, distributing food, assessing needs, and organizing child-friendly spaces with recreational and psychosocial activities. Through teamwork, the project reached 5,200 families, supported 70 shelters and engaged 3,300 children.
We learned that teamwork and communication are very important during emergencies. Working together helped us support families better. We also learned that children need food, safety, care and fun activities. Good planning and helping each other made our project successful.
