We, from NSGF Germany, are looking for enthusiastic guides and scouts (18+) from Europe who would like to help with refugee relief. We work at the hubs of the refugee flows. The first priority is to care for and supply the refugees from Ukraine, but also to sort and pack material and work in the first aid station.

The 29th ISGF World Conference was held in a studio in Brussels, Belgium on 26 and 27 February 2022 from 12:00 – 13:30 hour.

This World Conference was different from other World Conferences as there was only the voting on a special adjusted business agenda.
The Scouts y Guias Adultos de Argentina (SGAA) held their national camp from February 9 till 13, 2022. It was their first gathering after the pandemic started so they call it “Reunion National Camp” (Campamento Nacional del Encuentro).
