Europe Governance
The European Scout Region is strategically managed by the European Scout Committee. The Committee is elected by the European Scout Conference, which is attended by delegations from all member National Scout Organizations in the Region.
European Regional Constitution
The European Scout Region Constitution governs the operations of the European Scout Region. It is based on the Constitution of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
European Scout Conference
Held every three years, the European Scout Conference showcases the spirit of cooperation and mutual assistance among National Scout Organizations. National Scout Organizations from across the region network gather to share their experiences and report on progress.
The event is also an opportunity to foster the idea of European citizenship, develop cooperation among European youth, carry out the functions of the constitution and other laws governing the Region, and ensure the proper implementation of decisions and policies. Members of the European Scout Committee are elected at the event.
European Scout Committee
The European Scout Committee consists of six volunteer members who are elected for a three-year term. It meets three times a year. A volunteer is appointed as Treasurer, and the Regional Director of the Europe Support Centre is the Committee’s secretary.
The Committee exercises its functions outlined in the European Scout Region Constitution, implements resolutions from the European Scout Conference, and advises the World Committee and National Scout Organizations in the Region.
Regional Scout Plan 2025-2028
The Regional Scout Plan is guided by our Mission of Scouting and reflects the European Scout Region’s active contribution to achieve the World Triennial Plan, while also setting a strategic direction for the Region. This plan puts forward an innovative set of objectives and targets, including elevated support for organizational resilience, stronger compliance and support around child and youth safeguarding, taking action to address the climate crisis and developing a climate impact strategy for the Region, widening our influence by working closely with partners and strengthening youth engagement at all levels of Scouting.
