By the end of the triennium the Adult Resources Network will have:

• Delivered on the Adults we Need commitments as specified in the Regional Scout Plan
• Been seen to give credible support to associations in relation to adult support issues
• Maintain and service a community of adult resources practitioners
• Worked closely with the Youth Programme Core Group as part of the Educational Methods structure, and other bodies of the WOSM - European region.

The Adult Resources Network is comprised of the Adult Resources Core Group and different Units and Ad-hoc groups which support its work.

These have been and will be developed to implement particular projects and tasks in line with the commitments made in the Regional Scout Plan and resolutions adopted at the 19th European Scout Conference. Further, the Adult Resources Network will be expanded to accommodate a virtual community of adult resource practitioners with an interest in one or more areas of the networks activities.

The Network has its space on Internet in the Community Zero. Membership in the Community is open to all who want to benefit and contribute. To join, please visit www.communityzero.com/arn

Adult Resources Core Group

The European Scout Committee has established the Adult Resources Core Group to fulfil the following main functions:

• Oversee the work of the Adult Resources Network
• Identify particular adult resources and volunteering issues in associations and suggested solutions
• Developed an informal network of adult resource practitioners across Europe
• Contribute effectively to the implementation of the Regional Scout Plan 2007-2010 and the Joint Work with WAGGGS

It is expected that the work of the Adult Resources Core Group and its members will consist in:

• Supporting the national Scout associations
• Recognising and understanding the needs of the national Scout associations
• Observing the World around and proposing actions to accommodate changes
• Production and promotion of resource materials
• Establishing partnerships and participate in networks
• Working closely with our colleagues on the World level and in other Regions
• Partnerships with our colleagues from the European Region WAGGGS
• Monitoring, evaluating and using the results for learning
