Shortly you will receive by mail information on the World Scout Youth Forum and World Scout Conference in Slovenia, from the World Scout Bureau. Despite budget constraints, we hope to ensure that all NSOs in Europe are represented in these events and the European Scout Committee has determined that some support will be made available to facilitate this representation.

As a follow-up to Circular 19/2013, we would like to advise of the establishment of a support to the Committee Contact System, we feel that nominating a staff member to be an additional contact can supplement the existing Committee Contact.

As requested in 21st European Scout Conference resolution, the Committee has been compiling the Regional Scout Plan, the Operational Framework and the make up of our resultant working groups.

The Regional Scout Plan 2013-2016 Operating under our Mission – Developing Scouting – Supporting Growth, as previously indicated, there are two Strategic Priorities:
Diversity & Inclusion and Youth Empowerment which will operate alongside the Core Groups for:

• Educational Methods
• Organisational Development
• External Relations & Funding
