Regeneration
1. What can be done to strengthen the relationship between the National Scout and
Guide Associations and the National Scout and Guide Fellowship?
-
Purposeful and meaningful combined events, projects (Peace light of Bethlehem,
Walk...)
-
combined support services (eg: headquarters in same building...)
-
Go out and create Scout groups
-
consider including the word Scout or Guide in the name of your organisation, but take
action first
-
listen to each other and suggest (do not push)
-
be informal
-
participate in each other's activities
-
be recognizable as a member of NSGF (use uniform, scarf...)
2. What can be done in our National Scout and Guide Fellowships to attract young
members no longer active in Scout and Guide Associations?
-
Common projects with youth (do not help, but cooperate at the same level)
-
networking globally-down to the basics of scouting (no hotels...)
-
-having trainings for Guilds themselves (do not just to offer help)
-
personal contact (invitation to NSGF)
-
go crazy (organise crazy activities and invite Rovers, leaders) open communication
about activities
-
be recognised by uniform (power of symbols!)
-
internet Guilds (to prevent isolation: when you have active members spread all over
the country)
-
interaction between Guilds and active leaders (having activities together)
-
diversity of activities in one Guild
-
twinning between Guilds and young Scout groups
-
actively participate in youth activities (do not just serve)
