With the support of Friends of Scouting we’re helping Scouts to thrive!
European Scout Foundation's Mission
Provide financial support for the development of Scouting in Europe, with main emphasis on projects, of National Scout Organisations in Central and Eastern Europe.
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.
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.
