Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Scouts all over Europe have stepped forward to serve their local communities. From tackling gender-based violence to social inequalities and biodiversity loss, Scouts have genuinely championed the Sustainable Development Goals through local community responses. What a great honour to see several of these excellent initiatives being recognised by prestigious European awards, at a time where Scouts’ global service contribution to the SDGs, reachs a threshold of 2 billions hours.
