Volunteering

2011 is the European Year of Volunteering and we know that many NSOs/NSAs are excited about the potential of this special year to recognise, recruit and motivate volunteering in general and in Scouting in particular.

By 30 September 2013, we will have:

• Created more opportunities for adults to volunteer in Scouting
• Stimulated the development of legislation that is supportive towards volunteering generally and Scouting in particular
• Contributed to the European Year of Volunteering 2011
• Recruited, welcomed and retained adult volunteers through effective management of human capital
• Focussed on the benefits of personal development and the need for self-recognition
• Promoted the recognition of the value of volunteering in Scouting, both internally and externally

The European Scout Region's Volunteering Working Group is comprised of the following people:

• Pavel Trantina
• Roberta Vincini
• Jukka Tulivuori
• Claude Frantzen
• Jo Deman

They are supported by Christian Loste from the European Scout Committee as well as Milutin Milosevic and Nicolo Pranzini from the World Scout Bureau - European Regional Office.
