On 6 August 2016, a storm with strong winds and flooding hit Skopje and the western parts of the country, leaving at least 21 people dead and dozens injured or missing. Several villages around the capital were devastated and the Scouts were one of the first on the field to respond in the needs and the aid to the vulnerable community. Scout Teams from the Scout Association of Macedonia were on the field enabling the establishment of crisis HQ in the center of the village Stajkovci, delivering support and aid to the people and helping cleaning the mud from their homes.
