Country international | Founded 1969 | |
The Deutschsprachige Konferenz der Pfadfinderverbände (DSK) is the international community of Scouting organizations in the German-speaking countries, an umbrella of Central European organizations within the World Organization of the Scout Movement or World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, including Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, France (Alsace), South Tyrol (Italy), the German-speaking Community of Belgium, and Liechtenstein. Its members are internationally recognized German Scouting associations and the minority German-speaking Scouting associations.
The DSK was started as a language based meeting but has developed to a common platform whose aims are the informal cooperation of WOSM/WAGGGS-organizations, including 11 participant countries as of 2001. These include some clearly non-German language organizations from the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovenia.,
