Thank You, Italy — for Giving Our Children a Summer of Peace

This summer, 276 Ukrainian Plast children had the opportunity to attend 15 Scout camps across Italy — surrounded by nature, friendship, and the simple joys of childhood.

For many of these young people, growing up during war, such moments are more than just summer memories.
They are days filled with joy instead of fear, and experiences that bring hope, strength, and healing.

Gratitude to the Italian Scout Family

We extend our heartfelt thanks to:

• the Italian Scouts,
• the Plast community in Italy,
• and especially Andrea Padion, whose dedication, coordination, and care made this entire experience possible.

Your support brought light, peace, and stability to Ukrainian children who needed it most.
Your kindness will live in their memories for a lifetime.

Scouting That Shines Through Dark Times

Our deepest appreciation goes to MASCI (Movimento Adulti Scout Cattolici Italiani) and AGESCI (Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani) for believing in the power of Scouting — a power that unites, heals, and inspires.

Even when the world feels uncertain, you have shown that it can still be full of care, solidarity, and hope.

With love and gratitude,

Plast – National Scout Organization of Ukraine
