Leadership Capacity Tools - A toolbox on organisational development

A toolbox on organisational development This toolbox was developed by associations in four selected countries: the Latvijas Skautu un Gaidu centrala organizacija - Latvia, Sojuz na Izvidnici na Makedonia  - FYRO Macedonia, Slovensky Skauting – Slovakia and the Association of Ukrainian Guides. The participants worked to produce tools in response to their own needs but also for wider use in Scouting and Guiding. A selection of materials has been added to make the tools easy to use and to raise awareness of organisational and leadership development.

All the tools are available on a CD-ROM. It was produced to encourage Scout and Guide associations and trainers to use the tools on organisational and leadership development created in this project.

The tools can also be downloaded from this website.

Beyond Barriers Tool Kit

Toolkit to assist Associations in providing Guiding and Scouting for young people with special needs.
At the end of the “Beyond Barriers” seminar the participants felt that they lacked ways of supporting leaders, who work with members with disabilities. To address this issue, participants gave a recommendation to the Europe Region WAGGGS and European Scout Region to initiate a one-year project in 2003 in order to find good practice and to produce training material to be used in all National Member Organisations.

This project would support leaders who work with members with disabilities; support National Member Organisations with their current educational programme; and encourage the ones without a policy to begin to think about this subject. Finally, it would encourage international co-operation and cultural exchange.

All Different, All Equal - Diversity toolkit

The WAGGGS and WOSM European Regions have released a Diversity Toolkit

The information and training resources in this toolkit can be used and adapted by all levels of the movement.

National Board members may find the Diversity Checklist useful for reviewing the organizational structure and policies of the Association. The templates and practical approaches provided in the toolkit may be helpful in planning initiatives to introduce Guiding and Scouting to new and unexplored areas of your community.

The activities, resource materials will be useful to trainers and leaders on the grassroots level of Guide and Scout associations in their day-to day work. Some of the sample training templates might also help intercultural teams and recruitment teams in creating workshops and inspiring new ideas in their work.

Finally, the toolkit could also serve as a useful reference when preparing international camps, workshops or other intercultural events.
