The Trinbago Scout and Guide Fellowship will be the host at the ISGF 4th Western Hemisphere Regional Conference. Set against the vibrant culture and natural beauty of the twin-island nation of Trinidad & Tobago, this conference is the platform for collaboration, leadership and growth.
Together we will strengthen our shared vision, build lasting connections, and elect the Western Hemisphere Regional Committee. We will look forward to gathering with you where inspiration meets action and lasting memories are made.

Dear members of ISGF,
Time has passed so quickly, and here I am once again writing to you as we approach a new year.
2025 has been quite a whirlwind, if I may say so… The world and its leaders often seem a bit lost. Our planet is suffering, and our communities are facing increasing challenges.

The 7th Southern Europe Sub Region (SESR) Meeting and the 18th Mediterranean Meeting (MED Gathering), took place at the Caribbean World Djerba Hotel, in Djerba, Tunisia, from 1 to 6 November 2025 with a total of 118 participants.

The 7th South American Sub Region Gathering was held in Cusco, Peru from 23rd-26th of October 2025. 41 Members participated from Argentina (10), Bolivia (5), Chile (3), Peru (15), Uruguay (3), Venezuela (2), Curaçao (1) and Spain (2).

Congratulations to the Dutch Scout and Guide Fellowship committee for organising an excellent Gathering this October. The group accommodation Hygge near Bergeijk was a great base for exploring the area, as we were challenged to learn new skills on the theme of “Doing after Learning”.

The 29th Western Europe sub-regional Gathering took place from 10 – 14 October 2025 in the small village of Bergeijk in the south of the Netherlands and organized by the Dutch Scout and Guide Fellowship. This event was attended by 44 participants. Belgium 5, Denmark 1, Egypt 1, France 1, Germany 7, Ghana 5, Ireland 6, Luxembourg 2, Netherlands 13, United Kingdom 3.

The Portuguese Federation of Adult Scouts and Guides (FEGA), celebrated Fellowship Day with a face-to-face meeting that brought together members of the 3 Associations that comprise it. It took place in the town of Batalha, in the center of the country, and which was attended by the Chairman of the ISGF World Committee, Ana Rodrigues.

Approaching his 112th birthday (which he would have reached on February 13th of next year), Mr. Luis Carrasco-Muñoz y Perez de Isla from Spain, passed away on 29 October 2025.

On October 11th and 12th, the Spanish Asociación de Scouts y Guías Adultos de Madrid (ASGAM) held its start of activity in the historic city of Talavera de la Reina, marking the beginning with adventures, and Scouting and Guiding life.

King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands honoured Marisca Kamperman, who has made a contribution of exceptional value to Scouting in the Netherlands and to the Dutch Scout and Guide Fellowship (DSGF). 

Dear Friends,
Congratulations to all of us!

Another year has gone by, and here we are once again celebrating Fellowship Day — a moment to pause and reflect on our lives as Scouts and Guides.

It’s a day to celebrate among friends and peers; to live in the present, to breathe, to remember the past, and to think about the future — the future of our lives, our organization, and our world.

Fellowship Day is also a time to acknowledge, even more deeply, what our world is going through, and to reflect on what we, as Adult Scouts and Guides and citizens of the world, can do to make it better.
