. The Swedish Temperance Guide and Scout Association, tree years ago. We had tried fieldagents who helped the local units with reqruitment – it didn´t work We had fieldagents trying to work with the local units with development in program and other issues – it didn´t work There where to few new members starting and we were slowly dying……….

Scouting in new ways? First of all ”what is scouting”? Trying new ways Invite local units to co-operate We did not wait for rules and regulation to change We are trying to change the way we are looking at membership

Scouting in new ways? Some examples: Scouting at school daycare centers Scouting together with sport movements Co-operation with external organizations such as - Estate companies - Youth Centers - Municipals - Schools - Emigrant movements (Sharaffs Heroes, rowmodels)

Scouting in new ways? Some examples: Adventurecamps with integration theme Different kinds of camps/day camps during school holidays Bring a section of new kids to a local unit camp and join in. ”Get out of town”, hole day activities for familys

Scouting in new ways? Some examples: Scouting for young parents (with their children) Working with social authoritys providing a natural meetingplace in nature, using our scoutmethod for troubled familys Attending different kind of venues. For example ”Dreamhack” ”Campsite scouting” during summer

Does this really count as scouting? When are you a real scout? Weekly meeting? Time, hour, minutes Can a new scout go to a camp first thing? Brownsea Island?! You decide!!
