Networks
Having the benefits of a great “pool” of resources, flexibility and effectiveness, organising a network seems to be one of the most popular working methods in modern organisational life. The European Scout region has adopted this way of work since the European Scout Conference in Iceland (2004) and, at present, they are several networks working in Europe.
The networks in European Scouting fall, generally, in two categories: Functional Networks and Informal Networks.
Functional NetworksGenerally, the functional networks reunite commissioners or teams of leaders of a certain level, responsible for a certain area or having a certain function in the Association (International, Youth Programme, Training, etc.)
The network is organised with the support of the Regional Office as a result of a Conference resolution or at the initiative of the Committee. The European Youth Programme Network The European Adult Resources Network |
Informal Networks
The informal networks reunite people from different backgrounds and Associations with an interest in developing Scouting (North-South, Overture, Sea Scouting, Camp Managers, etc.) In this category we have in Europe: The Network of Young Representatives The European Guide & Scout Centre Managers Network The European Growth Network |
