When Worlds Collide
Posted by admin under: International .
The World Organization of the Scouting Movement (WOSM) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) had a joint leader training in Latvia. So, obviously, a fun time was had by all. I mean, it’s Latvia for goodness sake.
Working together, the participants attending the Training For New Members of National Boards managed to solve the problems of an ‘Association in Crisis”! This was a team project in which the three teams were able to use their newly acquired knowledge and shared experiences whilst at the same time exchanging information about their work in Scouting and Guiding and making new friends.
The Training was a joint event, organised by the European Scout Region and the Europe Region WAGGGS, held in Latvia, 3rd to 7th December, with 17 participants from 8 National Associations. The aim of the event was to provide training for new members of national boards on how to develop an understanding of how a National Scout Association/Member Organisation operates and to present fundamental management concepts necessary to be an effective board member.
The social activities included an evening walking tour of Riga and a closing party at the bowling alley – where Portugal and Poland proved to be enthusiastic players!
I’ve got a bowling alley next to my house. Everyone’s invited!
