8th World Scout Parliamentary Union (WSPU) General Assembly Opens in Sweden!

2 minutes

Eighty-nine participants from 26 countries are currently attending the 8th WSPU General Assembly at the Swedish Parliament. The WSPU aims to strengthen National Scout Organizations and World Scouting through the influence of parliamentarians who believe that Scouting is an effective educational method.

Organised by the Guides and Scouts of Sweden (Scouterna), this year's event includes discussions on how members of national parliaments, deputies and senators can contribute to the development of young people around the world by advocating for Scouting. The next General Assembly will take place in 2019 in Thailand.
