On Wednesday 9th April, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), Marian Harkin (IE), Gisela Kallenbach (DE), Emmanouil Angelakas (GR), Mieczyslaw Janowski (PL) and Joel Hasse Ferreira (PT) launched a written declaration in the Parliament to propose 2011 be designated the European Year of Volunteering. If it is adopted it will make a significant contribution to the campaign to have the year designated.

Over 50 representatives from associations across Europe gathered in Frankfurt, Germany, over the weekend of 4-6 April.
Entitled 'Moving Forward - A European Conversation' this special gathering was convened to provide a space for associations to discuss their concerns and hopes for the future of WOSM. It was also seen as a useful stepping stone towards the 38th World Scout Conference.

Chaque année, la Région européenne du Scoutisme , en collaboration avec la Région Europe de l'AMGE, prépare une série d'événements destinés à soutenir le Scoutisme et le Guidisme en Europe (mise à jour février 2008).
