Denna gång har seminariet ett miljötema. Ansökningsdeadline är förlängd så att din ifyllda ansökan senast tisdag 10 dec skall ha nått international.secretary@scouterna.se.

Du behöver själv stå för kostnaden och resa, men Scouterna internationella grupp hjälper dig med tips på bra fonder att söka. Det finns även stipendium hos WAGGGS kopplat till detta seminarium men som med alla stipendium och fonder är det inget som är garanterat utan bygger på hur stark din ansökan och profil är.
