Dear friends in Scouting

admin — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:05:08 +0000

Scouting has had a strong influence on my life and the person I am today. It has given me an added value of life and I’m dedicated to give back to the Movement. I’ve been active at national level for many years and at regional level during the past few years, this last triennium as a member of the European Scout Committee.

I feel strongly about the work of the European Region. The Region has an important role to play in supporting the achievement of the mission of Scouting. Valuable work has been done over the past years. However, the work is not done and we should continue to strive for excellence in everything we do. I would very much like to continue to play an active role in that work. We must work together to ensure continued relevance of the movement in society, the quality of work and growth of our NSOs/NSAs.

I am convinced that my experiences and personal qualities can add value to the interesting work at hand. I therefore would like to continue to share my experience, commitment and dedication to the work in the European Region over the next triennium.

Yours in Scouting,

Equality

Over the last years support to NSOs/NSAs has been developing at Regional and World level
and resources are being used for that purpose. Continued support to NSOs/NSAs is essential
and should be further enhanced. Consultancy is and should be based on the needs and actual
work of the NSO/NSA in question therefore we need to ensure easy access and promote
open dialogue between the Region and NSOs/NSAs.

We should optimise our resources and the professional expertise available in the Region. We
should also encourage diverse means of support; offer direct support upon request, facilitate
NSO to NSO cooperation when needed, share knowledge, ideas and resources through
modern and efficient communication methods, etc.

I want to ensure equal opportunities for every NSO/NSA and every Scout within the European Region.

I want to see the European Region optimise its resources and the professional expertise it possesses.

Youth Empowerment

The Mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people and to help build a
better world. We strive to prepare young people for the future and strengthen their capacity
to face the challenges of tomorrow so that they can thrive as individuals and play a
constructive role in society.

As a youth led movement supported by adults we need to provide opportunities for
participation on all levels and empower young people to take active part in Regional work. In
order to attract more young people to join the movement, retain them, and be better able to
provide them with the relevant educational proposal, we need to realise and recognise which
skills and capacities society needs from its future leaders and citizens. And we need to listen
to what the young people want and need.
