The European Regions of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) are pleased to launch this call for bids to host The Scout and Guide Academy 2027 (The Academy), scheduled to take place in Autumn 2027.
What is The Academy, and why host it?
The Academy is a unique Scout and Guide event designed to provide participants with high-quality training and networking opportunities around the core priorities of the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM. By hosting such an event, your members can be involved in different areas (communications, registrations, social activities planning, fundraising, etc.), broadening their potential and skills internationally. Furthermore, hosting the event in your country can increase participation among your members, as less travel will be required. Your Association can increase its visibility in your local/national context by hosting an international event for 200 people from around Europe.
Interested Member Organisations in the European Regions of WAGGGS and WOSM are requested to indicate their interest by filling out this form: Call for bids to host The Academy 2027 - Fill out form
The deadline for submission of declarations of interest applications is 21 June 2026.
The Academy 2025 Report
We are also very excited to share The Academy 2025 Report. This report captures the energy, connections, and impact of the event, from inspiring sessions and meaningful exchanges to the real outcomes participants are bringing back to their organisations.
It offers a vivid picture of what The Academy makes possible and the powerful role it plays in strengthening our Movement across the Region.
The European Regions of WOSM and WAGGGS look forward to receiving your bid to host The Academy 2027. Corentin Molders ([email protected]) and Eirini Kappou ([email protected]) are available for further information.
Yours in Scouting and Guiding,
The European Regions of WOSM and WAGGGS
