The Charter is a document of World Scouting, outlining the principles of establishing a partnership/development project.
Development projects
How to become involved in a development project
Most projects are developed by groups - representing local Scouting, from Group level right through to Regional or County level. So, if a locally managed project is being developed, it is likely that much of local Scouting will be aware of it. It may be necessary to contact your AAC/ACC(I) to check if any such projects are in the pipeline.
As an individual, it is more difficult to become involved in a development project. However, from time to time, some of the national support networks develop a project open to anyone. It may also be possible to make contact with another group which is undertaking a project if they have either informed the International Office or the Africa Network.
Planned Development Projects
Once we have details of planned Development Projects, their details will go here.
Sources of potential projects
Many projects develop through personal contacts, possibly through meeting Scouts at a UK international camp or at an international camp in another country.
Some projects result from links requested by (or for) another Scout organisation. In such instances, initial communications should be started through the International Office.
Some projects are identified from the Scout Universal Fund [U Fund] , a list managed by the Africa Regional Office.
Occasionally links are established through community organisations, town links, faith communities or other aspects of civil society.
Some projects are initiated by networks and information on current projects is featured here.
Developing the project
A development project takes time, commitment, research, resources and much, much more. Find out about ways to access that support.
