Structure

All participating centres should confirm their on-going membership for the next year, by responding before 1th of October each year to the present co-ordinating centre of the network, mama or papa Goose.

It is required that each centre or its staff members has strong relations to a national association which is a member of either WOSM or WAGGGS.

The network meets once a year at either the European Scout and Guide Centre Managers Conference or at a member centre.
The aim of the meeting is:

to make decisions about the future and aim of the network
to evaluate the past years activities.
venue for the next meeting
setting goals for the coming years for the 3 main tasks:
1. Exchange ideas through the data base with nature and environmental games, main goal is to exchange good ideas and experience.
2. Exchange camp staff volunteers, main goal is the personal contact and experience.
3. The annual Camp staff Seminar, main goal is to develop new ways of scouting, and establish long lasting personal contacts.

Every year we elect an exchange coordinator and also a hosting centre for the camp staff seminar at Easter

Every two year we elect the coordinating centre for the two next years, (mama or papa Goose). Coordinators have been: 2002-2004 Torben Stenstrup (DK), 2004-2008 Ingeborg van Dijk (NL), 2008-2010 Mark Knippenberg (CH) The coordinating centre is elected for one year and can be reelected for another year. This mama or papa Goose is responsible for coordinating the network, distributing information within the network, organizing the next conference together with the host centre and delegating the necessary tasks.

Communication within the network is in English; this is not to exclude non-English-speaking centers, but to simplify communication among the centers.

We want to work as low budget as possible: using the e-mail instead of paperwork, hosting the meetings every time an other centre.

Centers interested in becoming members of the network have to contact one of the member centers which will put them in contact with the current coordinating centre. We think 16-20 members is a good number of members for our network.
