Explorers of a hundred-year-old youth story
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Explorers of a hundred-year-old youth story is a project that connects two youth scout groups, 16 to 20 years old and 13 to 14 years old, from two different countries and cultures. Beside that we also wish to follow the footsteps of our founder, Sir Robert Baden-Powell. The main event of our exchange is going to be a common summer trip around southern England with scouts from vicinity of London in July 2016, as we mostly want to learn about the way they scout and understand scouting. We learn the most from what we experience ourselves and we want to share our experience with as many people as possible, which is why we will share everything we will have learned with our local community. This is how we will continue learning after our adventure, through public speaking and communicating.We are also going to learn before our trip, as we will strenghten our self-confidence and self-intiative through the preparations themselves, our hosts have also expressed interest in visting Slovenia, so they can also get to know our country and habits. During the preparations we will also learn teamwork and task-sharing, because we will need to work as a well-played team to execute a project of this size.Through the project we wish to master skills, that we will certainly use in everyday life, such as adaptability, cooperation, organization, leadership. Our goal is to, by the end of this project, be able to describe ourselves as more confident, self-initiative and active citizens of Europe, more open to experiences of our peers coming from different corners of our continent. We also wish to make positive contributions to the progress of the Slovenian scout organization.The main emphasis of the programme is the exchange of scout experiences and values. We want to find out how our peers experience scouting, which is why our programme will be based on typical shared scout activities – together we will overcoWe will explore a hundred-year-old story and rewrite it in our own way, for a common and brighter future.
