About European Scout Foundation
About the European Scout Foundation
The mission of the European Scout Foundation is:
- To provide financial support for the development of Scouting in Europe, with main emphasis on projects, of National Scout Organisations in Central and Eastern Europe.
- To develop the Friends of Scouting in Europe to raise money to support Scout projects. The Friends of Scouting, acting as Ambassadors, also help Scouting grow their personal contacts and expertise.
- To increase the endowment capital in order to provide financial support for activities in their European Scout Region, such as seminars, events, publications, and operational support.
How can I contribute to the development of Scouting in Europe? You can help Scouting grow in Europe in many ways:
- By joining the Friends of Scouting in Europe
- Financing one or more projects from National Scout Organisations in Central and Eastern Europe
- Making direct donation, by cheque or by bank transfer
The European Scout Foundation is ruled under Swiss law on foundations, exempted from Swiss taxes, and managed by Foundation Board in full cooperation with the European Scout Committee and the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM).
