Training for New Members of National Boards

3 Décembre 2008- 7 Décembre 2008

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.

This was a joint event, organised by WOSM- European Region and the Europe Region WAGGGS, held in Latvia, 3 - 7 December 2008, with 17 participants from 8 National Associations. The aim of this event was to provide training for new Members of National Boards on how to develop an understanding on how a National Scout Association/Member Organisation operates and 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!
