Disaster Risk Reduction & Scouting: A Community-Based Approach
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is a core pillar of the scouting movement worldwide. Scouts are uniquely positioned to act as first responders, community educators, and resilience builders because scouting instills leadership, outdoor preparedness, and a strong sense of civic duty.
In regions prone to environmental challenges—such as floods, landslides, and extreme weather—scouts play an indispensable role in safeguarding communities before, during, and after a crisis.
