Since 1985, Sea Scout leaders from all over Europe have gathered every three years to take part in the European Sea Scouting Seminar (“Eurosea”). The 10th such seminar took place in the Czech Republic in Plzen in September 2010 and brought together 60 participants, planning team, and guests.
The seminar is one of the most popular events that takes place in Europe, and has a very special atmosphere due to the participants all having the same background through working in, or being involved with, Sea Scouting.
Eurosea 11 takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark between 19-23 September 2012.
