Youth Empowerment

To be a credible youth organisation, young people in Scouting need to be involved and empowered to take the lead in their own personal development and the development of their association.

• Provided skills training, supported by mentoring and coaching, to strengthen youth empowerment
• Empowered and supported young people to participate in decision making processes that affect them
• Ensured the presence of youth empowerment measures across all age sections
• Provided training for young people and adult volunteers in youth empowerment and intergenerational dialogue
• Encouraged and promoted the participation and full involvement of young people in constitutional events and organs
• Developed communications strategies that involve young people as the public face of Scouting

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

• Pedro Duarte Silva
• Mary Scriven
• Jon Ingvar Bragasson
• Tom Rombouts
• Gregoire Magés

They are supported by Petr 'Permi' Vanek from the European Scout Committee as well as Radu Stinghe and Nicolò Pranzini from the World Scout Bureau - European Regional Office.
