In order to assist in the implementation of resolution Society 7 adopted at the 8th European Guide and Scout Conference the Europe Region WAGGGS and  WOSM – European Region organized a meeting in 1996 for those Scouts and Guides involved in influencing Youth Policy on behalf of their National Association in a National Youth Council and those representing European Guiding or Scouting in the European Youth Structures.

As a result of that first meeting it was decided to organize a similar meeting annually, which became the Network Meeting of Scouts and Guides representatives in National Youth Councils.

The network aims to:

• Provide training for National and European representatives
• Discuss issues of mutual relevance and other important topics
• Strengthen existing and form new networks to develop the influencing role of Guiding and Scouting
• Co-ordinate the approach to Youth Policy in Europe
• Motivate participants for further involvement in Youth structures

Profile of members

The participants to this network meeting are young scouts and guides who represent their National Association in the National Youth Council or the national youth structures and young scout and guide representatives in European Platforms or structures, such as the European Youth Forum or the Advisory Council on Youth Issues of the Council of Europe.  If you represent your association in a National Youth Council and are interested in joining the network or taking part in the meeting, please write to nycnetwork@europak-online.net
