Filter output by scope in RSS feed

I’ve built a custom RSS template to handle different types of feeds as a custom page template. I’ve basically created a bunch of scopes and have created custom messages to output based on how far out an event is. So if say a webinar is taking place next week, a week in advance a message would be “Webinar on _______ is taking place next week, sign up now!”. I then feed this to Buffer and have pre-composed tweets ready to share on social media.

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to output what the current scope is so I can use it as a filtering hook. So if an event matches the scope next-week, then add the customized description. Something like this

if ($scope == "next-week") {
<description>Webinar on <?php echo $event_name; ?> is taking place next week, sign up now!</description>
}

I’m not a developer and am just fudging my way through this, so this may be plain as day simple. Any help you could lend would be appreciated.
