The European Scout Symposium is an opportunity for all National Scout Associations to meet with members of the European Scout Committee, to look at how things are working, to look further into the future and contribute to the thinking in developing the next Regional Scout Plan. 5th European Scout Symposium will take place from 5-7 April in Dublin Ireland.
The event will bring together key decision makers of the Region to consult on how the Region has been developing and assessing the impact of the Regional Scout Plan. This will lead to a fully participative approach to help develop the next proposal for the Regional Scout Plan as well as the working methods to enable the plan to become not just a plan for the European Committee, but one that is owned by the NSOs/NSAs that make up the Region.
A discussion document – Our Future Path – forms an integral part of the consultative process as we move towards the Symposium and ultimately to the 21st European Regional Scout Conference in Berlin in August.
The event builds on the previous successful editions held is Slovenia (2001), Italy (2003), Cyprus (2006) and Hungary (2009).
Aims
