FOSE Tour 2024 Split, Croatia
Dear Friends of Scouting in Europe,
With great pleasure we invite you for this year’s FOSE Tour. As every year, many of you will be looking forward for this chance to visit a city that you normally wouldn’t book that easily, to get to know more about its history and culture. To meet old and new international scouting friends again. And of course, last but not least, to talk to local scouts and being informed about their projects which we are asked to (financially) support. Because that is the main reason why we’re friends of scouting in Europe. Isn’t it?
You might have learned from the Save-the-date that this year we will go to Croatia, more specific to Split. This video on YouTube provides you with a sneak preview of the city.
When
- The programme is planned from Thursday 3th October 15.00 hours, till Sunday 6th October after lunch

Our hotel
