On February 24, 2022, due to Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine, we altered our activities. Currently, Plast is working on three main goals: helping children adapt; providing humanitarian aid; and supporting scouts in the military.
What are we doing to promote victory!
How can you help?
1. Invite plast members to scouting events in your countries to help develop children of Ukraine.
2. Send humanitarian aid to Ukrainians affected by the war.

Donate1. Helping children and youth to adapt
Even during the war, we do not cease to work on the development of young people in scouting. They are the future of Ukraine!
Work with children and youth is carried out offline only over a third of the territory of Ukraine. On the remaining territory, it occurs online or in bomb shelters.
Physical safety, psychological health and supporting oneself and close ones are themes that adults help kids come to understand during activities.
What we achieved in 2023
184
camps were held in Ukraine and abroad
6000+
children took part in the camps
950
Scouts visited activities of scouting friends in Europe
What activities do we organize for children and youth?
We thank our scouting friends!
A lot of our scouting friends have already helped Ukrainian scouts and invited us to their events. Thank you!
This summer, 30 camps for 944 children were held at scout bases in 6 countries.
We continue to develop children and youth for the sake of Ukraine. Help our children develop in safety – invite Ukrainian scouts to your camps and other events.

2. Providing humanitarian aid to Ukrainians
From the first days of the full-scale invasion, we have contributed to humanitarian work in Ukraine. There are thousands of Ukrainians who suffered from the war, turning to Plast for help. Plast is made up of responsible and proactive youth who are always at hand, ready to help.
Our Plast centers across the country have turned into humanitarian hubs. Their activities are coordinated by the National Headquarters of Plast.
Currently, there are 26 local Plast headquarters and over 1,000 adult Plast volunteers who help Ukrainians with food, medicine, hygiene products, clothing, etc.
During more than a year and a half of the war
500 000+
people
have received assistance.
4 500
people
received help with evacuation and temporary housing.
3 000
people
received help for pets.
9 050
tons
of humanitarian aid was sent to Ukrainians.
Social initiatives
If you want to become our partner or can send humanitarian aid, write to us.
Helping Ukrainians affected by the war, who turn to Plast for assistance is an important step in supporting our country. We work with the following categories of humanitarian aid:
• medicine;
• hygiene products;
• food for long-term storage (cereals, pasta, sugar, salt, canned food, baby food, etc.).
3. We support scouts in the army
Over 530 scouts stepped forward to protect Ukraine, because it is the duty of every scout to love their country and do everything possible for its development.
There are many needs, and resources in our country are extremely limited. Sometimes a first aid kit or a helmet, provided in time, is enough to save the life. So for scouts in the military, we purchase basic equipment (uniforms, shoes, helmets, etc.), sleeping bags, medicine, food, etc.
Unfortunately, 40 Scouts-defenders have already lost their lives in the war initiated by Russia. We feel an obligation to support their families as well.
We are able to purchase necessary items due to the support of partners and because of donations of caring people who work together with us for the victory of Ukraine!
