Julius Kramer candidate for Youth Advisor

Scouterna - The Guides and Scouts of Sweden are very happy to present Julius Kramer as a candidate to Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee. The election will be held at the World Scout Youth Forum in Baku, Azerbaijan in August. This is how Julius describes his candidature himself: 

These are really exciting times for WOSM, having taken the first leap towards Vision 2023, and seen the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) being adopted - our world’s ambitious plan for the future. I am convinced of the crucial role us 50 million scouts play in making these goals reality, in our communities and globally. I’ve seen it first hand working closely with scout peacebuilders in the Amahoro Amani network, and watching my own scouts grow to become active citizens. 

I want to bring my experiences from within and outside of Scouting, with youth policy and governance; programme and training; partnerships and active citizenship; to work with the Committee and Bureau towards Vision 2023, and maximising our contribution to the SDGs. I want to partner with the Committee and young people in building inclusive and long-term youth participation in WOSM, because I know that when young people are meaningfully engaged in decisions, solutions become more sustainable and effective. 

Lastly, I want to bring the SDGs to the governance of WOSM, and to NSOs and local units. I believe that Sustainable Development starts at the grassroots, but depends on support, good governance and a values-based leadership from the highest level - just like Scouting.
