Open Call announced
At its meeting in Geneva from 8-10 June 2007, the European Scout Committee noted Resolution 09/2007 'Open Working Methods' from the 19th European Scout Conference and decided to issue an Open Call as a matter of urgency. This followed wide discussion on the areas of work as well as general methods of working that will be used in order to achieve the European Scout Plan 2007-2010.
Areas of Work
To achieve the delivery of the Regional Scout Plan, the work will be divided into three Areas of Work.
These are as follows:
Educational Methods
-Youth Programme
- Adult Resources
Development & Support
- Organizational Development
- Tailored Support
Relationships & Funding
- European Policies
- External Funding
The Committee is anxious to provide the widest possible opportunity for individuals with relevant experience, commitment and initiative to be involved in this work as well as the Finance Support Group.
Please refer to Circular 08/06-07 and Appendix 1 – entitled Areas of Work. The Application Form is provided as Appendix 2.
Applications should be received by Monday, 13 August 2007 at the World Scout Bureau – European Regional Office, Geneva, preferably by email or fax.
Applications must be endorsed by the International Commissioner. If the International Commissioner is not available, then an alternative verifiable office bearer may be used. Successful applicants and their NSAs will be advised as soon as possible after this date if they have been selected. It would help us greatly if applications are made in good time.
This will be the second Triennium that an Open Call has been made and we are anticipating a large number of applications. It will not be impossible to accept all applications, and with this in mind, we are reminding you that there are other ways for people to offer their skills, including through the Resource Pool and the many Networks that now exist.
The Committee is keen to encourage volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds - age, gender, geography etc. to reflect the composition of the Region.
