FOR REVIEW – Draft Memorandum of Understanding (Joint Communication 04 2019)

imagejointcomm042019

Dear friends,

During the update we gave at the International Commissioners’ Forum in Serbia in February, we shared that the next step for the new agreement between the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM would be a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would be shared with our Member Organisations for feedback.

Following the Joint Committee Meeting that took place in Croatia two weeks ago, where we agreed on the basic principles that would be in the MOU, we are pleased to share with you the draft document that has been agreed upon by both Regional Committees:

As promised, the new MOU is a simplified version of the previous one, including elements from the previous annexes. This allows us to commit to the shared values and principles of our two organisations and to the joint work which we believe will have the required impact on the young people we strive to support.

As you know, making the MOU operational will be a key responsibility of the two Committees. Already we are working on updating the framework which will facilitate this.

We welcome your feedback on this next step of our partnership together. You may send them to either of the Regional Offices (WOSM Europe, WAGGGS Europe) or through your Committee Contact.

Yours in Guiding and Scouting,

Marjolein Sluijters & Kevin Camilleri
European Committee WAGGGS & European Scout Committee of WOSM

Annex III to the MoU of the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM (Joint Communication 05 2018)

At the 15th European Guide and Scout Conference held in Melsomvik, Norway, from 17-21 June 2016, representatives of the Guide and Scout associations in the European Regions of WOSM and WAGGGS recommended that “the Joint Committee develops and implements a third annex to the Memorandum of Understanding of the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM, outlining the joint approach to external relations” (cf. recommendation 15EGSC/6, published in Joint Conference Document 6).

Volunteers engaged in relevant working groups of the European Scout Region of WOSM and the Europe Region WAGGGS have worked together over the past months to develop the recommended Annex III to the Memorandum of Understanding of the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM, which has since been adopted by the Joint Committee.

Joint Communication 05 2018 presents you with the new Annex III, which now forms integral part of the Memorandum of Understanding of the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM.
