The fifth Annual General Meeting of the Expat Scouting in Belgium (ESB) will take place, as in previous years, during our Camporee in de Kluis on 6-7 May 2023.
We are particularly excited to welcome a new Expat Scouting Group in our midst, with the newly formed Latvian-Brussels group joining us at the meeting. Other highlights include a discussion on how to build on the 4 March training session by Guiding and Scouting in Belgium on rules and tips on scouting in Belgium, in English, for our expat groups. We'll want to identify our needs in concrete terms with a view to making a proposal to GSB for targeted support in English for our groups, on the basis of a note that is being prepared for the AGM.
All the leaders of the Expat Scout Groups are welcome to the General Meeting. In case of a vote, one person from each Scout Group can vote.
The General Meeting will appoint the Expat Scout Council for the next year, and nominations can be submitted in advance via the contact form on this website.
Welcome to the General Meeting!
