Scouting in Luxembourg (SIL), a recognised National Scout Organization (NSO) of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), is a federation which represents the two National Scout Associations (NSA) FNEL (Fédération Nationale des Eclaireurs et Eclaireuses du Luxembourg) and LGS (Lëtzebuerger Guiden a Scouten).
For the project #Sew@Home (#BitzDoheem) a video tutorial was created, a hotline was set up and bitzdoheem.lu went online.
Presenting #BitzDoheem
Once volunteers signed up by calling the hotline, they received a box from their postman. As soon as the box was filled, the postman picked it up and all of the boxes were brought to the national sorting facility of the POST in Bettembourg.
450 volunteers sewed masks which were collected by the national postal service POST. Scouts were in charge to count, sort and dispatch the masks.
