Discover the Wonders of Oman at the 16th International Youth Gathering for Cultural Exchange

(WSBERO/Geneva) – Following the series of successful similar events in the past, the Arab Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is once again inviting Scouts (18 to 25 years, male only) to an International Youth Gathering for Cultural Exchange. The 2013 edition will be hosted by the Oman Scouts and Guides Association in various places in Oman from 4 to 14 September 2013.

16th International Youth Gathering for Cultural Exchange in Oman in September 2013

Participants from different cultural backgrounds will discover the beautiful landscape of Oman, its history and contemporary society. Cross-cultural exchanges on issues and challenges relevant to young people and discussions on how the young generation can actively participate in the life of their societies will complete a programme otherwise rich in environmental, cultural and recreational activities.

Many Rover Scouts and young Leaders from different National Scout Associations in the European Region have enjoyed the warm hospitality and enriching cross-cultural exchanges offered by the Arab Region during previous similar gatherings and have returned with precious memories and a long list of new friends. So, why should it not be you this time?
