THE NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF SKOLTA ESPERANTO-LIGO
© SKOLTA ESPERANTO-LIGO,1997
To complete their task better, SEL uses the system of the National Representatives;
and we have some reasons for it.
Although the principles of Scouting are the same ones in all the sides, in the practice - however - there are many differences among the diverse National Scouts Associations.
Also the strength and the possibilities of the different National Associations of Esperanto.
To be able to use the best thing possible the diverse possibilities in each country, we choose to work by means of the intervention of our "National Representatives", who knows the situation of their respective countries and movements. We prefer that the National Representatives be old guides or old scouts that speak Esperanto, or Esperantists that have relationship with the Girls or Boy Scout Movements. When somebody doesn't exist with these requirements, it is chosen some person (him or her) that stays informed of the activities of both institutions although it is not active members of them. Although we never arrive to our objective, our ideal is that SEL consists on independent national sections, as they establish it the Statutes, and that they choose its own directives.
Because of the different situations of each one, we cannot describe the tasks and duties. Much depends on the facilities and each person's possibilities to travel, of their free time, of their studies or work, of their family, or of the functions in the scout / guide or esperantist movements that develop, etc. For we only give it a general description of the tasks, and later we will mention the tasks that we could call "mandatory."
