"Rover Scouts Flood Relief Mission: Lifeline for Flood Victims"

The devastating August 2024 floods in Bangladesh affected millions, leaving countless families homeless and struggling for food, clean water, and basic necessities. In Sherpur’s Haluaghat region alone, over 3,000+ flood-affected people faced severe hardship. As Rover Scouts, it is our duty to stand by them in their time of need. Through this project, we aim to provide relief, hope, and support to those affected. Even a small effort can make a big difference—a meal can ease hunger, clean water can save lives, and kindness can restore faith. Together, we can bring light to their darkest days and help them rebuild for a better tomorrow.

This project taught us the power of teamwork, crisis management, and community resilience. We learned how to assess needs quickly, distribute aid efficiently, and promote health awareness to prevent diseases. Most importantly, it reinforced the true spirit of "Service Before Self," showing that even small efforts can bring hope and relief to those in need.

Our flood relief initiative in  Sherpur’s Haluaghat region provided essential aid to 3,000+ flood victims, ensuring access to food, clean water, medicines, and hygiene kits. Vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and pregnant women, received priority support. Health awareness efforts helped prevent disease outbreaks, and our actions boosted community morale during the crisis. This project not only relieved immediate suffering but also strengthened the Rover Scout commitment to humanitarian service.

To execute the flood relief project in Sherpur’s Haluaghat region, our 10+ Rover Scouts from Gurudayal Government College Rover Scout Group first assessed the affected areas, identifying 3,000+ flood victims in urgent need. We collected and prepared essential relief materials, including dry food, drinking water, medicines, clothing, and hygiene kits. From 14-23 August 2024, we reached flood-hit villages by boat and local transport, setting up distribution points to ensure an organized and fair distribution, prioritizing children, elderly, and pregnant women. We also provided water purification tablets and health awareness guidance to prevent disease outbreaks. Through dedication and teamwork, we successfully provided aid, restored hope, and upheld our Rover Scout spirit—"Service Before Self."
