When we left the European Union in 2020 following the 2019 General Election it had consequencies beyond trade and travel and one was the Erasmus program that allows for inter-Europe youth exchange programs to study and broaden depth of understanding between young people across the continent.
It didn't strictly speaking had to - arrangement to pay in could of been made - but politics and postering by interested parties put an end to that.
Fortunately there has been a change of heart and it is being restored.
This is great news for international movements like Scouting supporting international exchanges, joint projects and discussions that explore global issues. This aligns directly with Scouts Association strategy and ambition to be a place to belong, where young people feel connected not just locally, but globally too.
It also supports our commitment to helping young people engage with the world around them, understanding different cultures and their role in creating a better future.
