Can anyone provide information on this organization? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 05:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I will continue to revert edits by this editor, as they are a WP:POINT violation, especially his putting Antarctica on this page. If he continues, I will seek an admin. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 16:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm an admin. Do either of you have a citation for why Antarctica belongs on the European page vice some other page? If you can't find a reliable source that says this, then Antarctica would logically go in some generic Scouting article on this topic or on the South America page (closest physical significant land mass). — Rlevse • Talk • 20:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
See this user is still beating that horse after 2 1/2 years. Reverting as a violation of WP:POINT. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) ( talk) 20:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
First— you two need to cool off and stop reverting. This appears to be smething rather trivial to be edit warring over.
Now, if I understand correctly, this is about the statement that Vatican youth can join local Scouting groups outside the Vatican. http://www.troop97.net is probably not a reliable source— it does not show any references on how it collect the lists of organizations. Frankly, I don't see the value of the inclusion of the statement. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 22:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I am responding to a third opinion request for this page. I have made no previous edits on European Scout Region (World Organization of the Scout Movement) and have no known association with the editors involved in this discussion. The third opinion process is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. |
At present, there is no reference supporting the section. Therefore the content of that section fails verifiability. A user would be within the scope of the policy to remove said content. If one or more verifiable reliable source reference supporting the content of the section is found at a later date and time, the content can be readded with proper citation formating.— RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 23:09, 7 December 2009 (UTC) |
At the moment, the Vatican text reads, "As far as is known, there has never been a Scouting organization in Vatican City", and I've placed a {{ fact}} tag on this. Either there has been Scouting in the Vatican at some time, or there has never been. Which of these is true is knowable, and certainly known to someone in the world, or at least determinable from records. The "as far as is known" part is evasive and without value. So I recommend selecting between one of two treatments:
I think the latter is the more solid course to take. Thoughts? —Largo Plazo ( talk) 23:54, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I won't enter into the current edit war, but I will just point out that there is a Rupert Schildboeck who works at the European scout office.
Why don't you all discuss here the changes?
Also, all of you, please don't assume everyone is aware of all the issues.
For example, I suggest that everyone read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia), and especially the paragraph Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia)#International organizations.
Please, everyone, explain why you think your version is better, and do it in more than a one-liner!
Yours in Scouting Lou Crazy

Dear Kintetsubuffalo, I am writing to you as an admin of the wiki page: European_Scout_Region_(World_Organization_of_the_Scout_Movement).
Reading this page previously as member of the Scout Association which is part of the WOSM European Scout Region and now for 6 years as employee of the World Scout Bureau (brunch office of the World Organization of the Scout Movement) I have realised that some information on this page is wrong and therefore might be misleading.
I have asked my colleague to update page but you have delete his changes. Therefore I have decided to write to you and let you know what is wrong and to direct you to some references so you can check some of our claims.
Hope you will understand this in best way.
So what is wrong?
Regions of WOSM not use their logos anymore, instead they use WOSM brand logo.
This can be also found in our Brand Manual —Matanackovic
"The European Scout Region comprises 41 National Scout Organizations that are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, and services Scouting in Western and Central Europe, excluding the former Soviet Republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine, but inclusive of Cyprus (technically not part of Europe) and Turkey (which spans across two continents), for cultural reasons, and Israel for political ones."
- Stating that ESR services Scouting in Western and Central Europe is deeply wrong, since there is also South East Europe as well as North Europe, etc...NSOs and NSAs (National Scout Organisations/Associations) of countries of as you say "former Soviet Republics" are not part of European Scout Region and that has nothing to do with politics, this countries are part of Eurasia Scout Region and in separate region due to specific attention they need because of at first place the fact that Scouting was forbidden for some time durring the age when they were former SSSR republics.
Cyprus is geographically and any other aspect in Europe! That is fact that every kid in Europe learn from Geography mostly even in elementary school...therefore I assume that I don't need to prove this? Also, Turkey is partially in Europe and therefore not from cultural reasons as it states there.
This statement is very wrong: "...Israel for political ones" and sound as someone opinion...but Wikipedia should not be place for opinions as such. —Matanackovic
This is not official part of WOSM European Scout Region. On the wiki page "European Scout Region (World Organization of the Scout Movement)" we should not write about Scouting in Europe that is where this subregional groups might find it's place. Beside this, there is many more non-formal Scouting groupings and networks in Europe. —Matanackovic
Sorry, but this paragraph in absolutely not true. There is no Scout groups that are administered by WSB. —Matanackovic
Eurofax do not exsists for more than 10 years. WOSM European Scout Region and WAGGGS Europe Region cooperate closely and more about that you can see on the website of their partnership

Page 30 World Organization of the Scout Movement – Triennial Report 1996-1999 Page 29 Chairman:David Bull, United Kingdom16th European Scout Conference: Luxembourg, May 1998 Previous Chairman:José Antonio Warletta 17th European Scout Conference:Czech Republic, 2001 Regional Headquarters: Geneva, Switzerland Brussels, Belgium Director: Dominique Bénards The 1998 Conference was held in Luxembourg 2-8 May 1998 and attended by 188 people from 37 countries. The following people were elected to form the European Scout Committee: David Bull (UK), Per Hylander (Denmark), Thérèse Bermingham (Ireland), George Hourdakis (Greece), Maarten Veldhuijzen (Netherlands), and José Antonio Warletta (Spain). The committee elected David Bull as Chairman, and Per Hylander as Vice-Chairman. Ondrej Vanke (Czech Republic) was co-opted following the resignation of Maarten Veldhuijzen in 1999. Highlights of the conference included the adoption of a Scout Plan for the period 1999-2007 - focusing on developing and promoting Scouting, improving youth programmes, managing adult resources, facilitating communication and supporting the development of national Scout associations. Resolutions were adopted on the implementation of the Scout Plan, futurecooperation with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts,financial issues, future regional events and eliminating landmines.During the Conference, a joint meeting of the Scout and Guide Conferences was addressed by Jacques Santer, President of the European Commission.s In this field, the main focus during the triennium was on supporting national associations in adapting programmes to the changing needs of today’s youth. The Renewed Approach to Programme(RAP),developed by the European Scout Region in partnership with the Interamerican Scout Region and the Programme Service of the World Scout Bureau, was designed to meet the needs of associations for a clear conceptual framework. The RAP User’sGuide was produced in May 1998 (first edition). It comprises eight tools to assist national programme teams in each step of the programme development process. RAP was complemented in 1999 with the publication of the Cub Scout Leader’s Handbook, produced by the Interamerican Region with the help of the European Region. This book gives an introduction to the needs of girls and boys aged 7-11 and explains how to implement RAP in the Cub Scout section. Two key events were organized to share materials and experiences relating to RAP: the Summer Happening in August 1997 in Estonia, and the National Programme Commissioners’ Forum, in September 1997 in Finland. In addition, 20 workshops on RAP and other youth programme topics were organized at the request of national associations. A youth programme working group was set up in 1998.The Europe For You ! programme to promote youth mobility in Europe was improved thanks to feedback and support from national associations. The EuroSteps network expanded to include 64 sites offering young people opportunities to take part in challenging projects in 22 countries. The Where to Stay in Europe booklet grew to include information about 320 Scout centres in 25 countries and included a new section on voluntary staff programmes.In 1998 a pilot project was set up to test and further develop the European Voluntary Service programme to support the development of Scouting inunderprivileged areas.WORLD SCOUT BUREAU, European Region European Region Youth Programme Regional Conference-- Page 31 World Organization of the Scout Movement – Triennial Report 1996-1999Page 30Youth ProgrammecontinuedWORLD SCOUT BUREAU, European Region, continuedRelated events included: Eurofolk, to promote intercultural learning andfriendship among young people aged 16 to 20, held in 1997 in Belgium; the 5th European Scout and Guide Centre Managers’ Conference in 1997 in Greece; two seminars on Europe For You ! in 1997 and 1998 in Germany; a seminar on young volunteers in 1998 in Kandersteg.The European Region also worked to reinforce other important aspects of youth programme. A seminar on gender issues was organized in 1997 in the United Kingdom. It was followed by a seminar on adolescent health and emotional development in Hungary in 1998. The seminar Building Bridges of Friendship was held in France, in 1996. It built upon the experience of the north-south network which has been meeting twice a year since 1989. The Overture network on working with ethnic communities helped plan and run a seminar on marginalised youth in 1997 in the UK. A seminar on spiritual development was organized in 1997 in Poland; EuroSea 5, the regular European Sea Scout seminar, took place in Norway in 1997. A new emphasis on peace started with a seminar on peace education in 1997 in France and continues with the Peace Cruise in 1999.s In the field of adult resources, the region has given priority to assisting national associations in implementing the Adults in Scouting policy. The Adults We Need, a document presenting the policy and ways of implementing it, was published as an appendix to the RAP User’s Guide in 1998. An adult resources working group was set up in 1997 to collect information, explore ways of providing better support to national associations and develop practical tools.During this triennium, the number of regional events on adult resources increased greatly. In 1996 the Summer Get Together was organized in Spain for members of national adult resources teams. This was followed in 1997 by a seminar on adult resources in the UK and the Summer Happening in Estonia, during which the team approach, mutual agreement and review process were developed further. In 1998 and 1999 management training courses were organized in Kandersteg for top volunteers and professionals. A total of 17 workshops or courses on adult resources were organized at the request of national associations.s The region continued its efforts to improve communication with national associations. Eurofax, the monthly telefax bulletin created in 1992 as a rapid means of distributing information from the European Scout Office, was published throughout the triennium; readership is estimated at 50,000 per month. A new communication tool called Euro.Scout.Doc was launched in1999 to inform associations about progress in implementing the European Scout Plan. The first issue focused on Europe For You ! In June 1996, A Vision of Europe II, the triennial report of the European Scout Region 1993-1996, was published with a view to inform national associations and institutional partners about developments in the region. The regional Internet web site (www.scout.org/europe) was launched in September 1997 and has been regularly updated and developed. In March1998, a significant improvement was made allowing documents and publications to be downloaded directly from the web site. This includes invitations for seminars and events, RAP, Europe For You ! publications and resource packs on various topics. Each month there are approximately 1,700 visits tothe home page and 1,000 documents are downloaded. In 1999 a communications working group was set up to explore ways of improving our communications further.Adults in Scouting Communication- Page 32 World Organization of the Scout Movement – Triennial Report 1996-1999 Page 31s In 1996, Richard Amalvy was employed to work on external relationshipswith other youth organisations and with European institutions. By the end of1997, the region had achieved better representation within the Europeanyouth platforms, with new representatives elected in the commissions of theEuropeanYouth Forum and in the Governing Boardand Advisory Committeeof the Youth Directorate of the Council of Europe. Grants totalling about ECU100,000 were received from the European Union by several nationalassociations and by the region as a result of this work. A youth policiesworking group was established in 1998 to make proposals on future action.s Direct support to national Scout associations is an important part of the region’s mission. Over the past three years, 118 field missions were undertaken in 32 countries. 19 missions helped with the recognition process of new associations and since the last World Conference, four Scout organizations have been recognized in the European Region: Bulgaria,Lithuania, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYRO), and Slovakia. Eleven missions focused on fund-raising and financial management and 20 on growth and establishing development plans.s Cooperation between the European Scout Region and the Europe Region WAGGGS was a major aspect of the work during the triennium. The six-year trial period of joint structures, approved at the European Conference in 1992,came to a close in May 1998 and was evaluated during a lengthy process involving the different kinds of associations existing in Europe: WAGGGS-only, WOSM-only and SAGNO. In April 1997, a summit conference involving the top leaders of each association was held in Switzerland to discuss the evaluation results and identify possible solutions for the future. There was consensus on the necessity to continue close cooperation between WAGGGS and WOSM in Europe, but not under the form established in 1992, with a single committee, office and strategic plan. During the European Scout Conference in 1998, a resolution proposing cooperation between WAGGGS and WOSM in Europe based on common objectives instead of on joint structures was adopted by a large majority. A coordination group was established to manage the implementation of the joint plan which complements the two specific plans approved by the respective conferences. Both the regional committees and conferences continue to meet in the same place and at the same time with a joint session and separate sessions.s The European Scout Region has developed close cooperation with the Arab Region and the Interamerican Region. Every two years, meetings are held between top leaders in the European and Arab Regions, the last being in Kuwait in 1997 and the next planned in Greece in 1999. A Euro-Arab peace education seminar was organized in Cairo in 1996. A study trip in the Palestinian Authority took place in 1997 with representatives from both regions and six European associations to identify ways of supporting the development of the Palestinian Scout Association. Cooperation with the Interamerican Region has focused on youth programme and adult resources, particularly the development of MACPRO and RAP (see above). The Region is keen to cooperate with all the other regions, especially with the Eurasia Region.s Regional Director, Dominique Bénard, is assisted by: Richard Amalvy, Director, External Relations; Jacqueline Collier, Director, Youth Programme; Kjeld Jespersen, Director, Adult Resources; Aidan Jones, Director, Finance and Administration; Anna Keep, Deputy Director, External Relations; John Moffat, Director, Kandersteg International Scout Centre; Anne-Christine Vogelsang, Administration Assistant.

Over the past three years, 118 field missions were undertaken in 32 countries. 19 missions helped with the recognition process of new associations and since the last World Conference, four Scout organizations have been recognized in the European Region: Bulgaria,Lithuania, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYRO), and Slovakia. Eleven missions focused on fund-raising and financial management and 20 on growth and establishing development plans.s Cooperation between the European Scout Region and the Europe Region WAGGGS was a major aspect of the work during the triennium. The six-year trial period of joint structures, approved at the European Conference in 1992,came to a close in May 1998 and was evaluated during a lengthy process involving the different kinds of associations existing in Europe: WAGGGS-only, WOSM-only and SAGNO. In April 1997, a summit conference involving the top leaders of each association was held in Switzerland to discuss the evaluation results and identify possible solutions for the future. There was consensus on the necessity to continue close cooperation between WAGGGS and WOSM in Europe, but not under the form established in 1992, with a single committee, office and strategic plan. During the European Scout Conference in 1998, a resolution proposing cooperation between WAGGGS and WOSM in Europe based on common objectives instead of on joint structures was adopted by a large majority. A coordination group was established to manage the implementation of the joint plan which complements the two specific plans approved by the respective conferences. Both the regional committees and conferences continue to meet in the same place and at the same time with a joint session and separate sessions.s The European Scout Region has developed close cooperation with the Arab Region and the Interamerican Region. Every two years, meetings are held between top leaders in the European and Arab Regions, the last being in Kuwait in 1997 and the next planned in Greece in 1999. A Euro-Arab peace education seminar was organized in Cairo in 1996. A study trip in the Palestinian Authority took place in 1997 with representatives from both regions and six European associations to identify ways of supporting the development of the Palestinian Scout Association. Cooperation with the Interamerican Region has focused on youth programme and adult resources, particularly the development of MACPRO and RAP (see above). The Region is keen to cooperate with all the other regions, especially with the Eurasia Region.s Regional Director, Dominique Bénard, is assisted by: Richard Amalvy, Director, External Relations; Jacqueline Collier, Director, Youth Programme; Kjeld Jespersen, Director, Adult Resources; Aidan Jones, Director, Finance and Administration; Anna Keep, Deputy Director, External Relations; John Moffat, Director, Kandersteg International Scout Centre; Anne-Christine Vogelsang, Administration Assistant.

Now that some Eurasian members have joined the European group, the map will need to be updated by a willing editor with experience. Also, the members have been added on this list, but not in alphabetical order. Archives908 ( talk) 23:23, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
