Level Crossings in Greece
• Train level crossings are a real problem in our country
• In Greece, the train accidents count for the 2% of the total accidents but they constitute 33% of the total accidents involving trains
• Greece counts 12 deaths per year on level crossings
• Causes:
• Drivers who are not able to detect the lights, the signs and follow the basic rules of Road Safety and
• drivers who live close to the level crossings

Scouting and Road Safety Programme Mission
The proposed programme is dedicated to utilising the resources and method of Scouting to improve Road Safety for young people in Scouting and in the broader community in each participant home country and also to build a global alliance for Road Safety through Scouting’s international dimension.
www.ioas.gr
The Motivation for this Initiative (1)
• Death through Road Injury is the most significant killer of young people globally in the ages 5 to 29 years (Source WHO 2008).
• The challenge of changing culture and behavior in Road Safety is a challenge for the whole world. Death and injury on the road affects every country and massacres men, women and children indiscriminately and costs untold pain, loss and misery.
www.ioas.gr
The Motivation for this Initiative (2)
• The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is a World Organization, of 28 million Scouts in 160 countries. Thus the WOSM is the largest children's and youth of the world.
• Scouting worldwide has shown itself to be effective in promoting all that is best in human behavior and good citizenship.
• We believe that it is important and timely that Scouting should take a stand to help safeguard the children of our world.
www.ioas.gr
The Starting Partners
• Scout Association of Greece
• Scouting Ireland
• RSI Panos Mylonas
• Road Safety Authority of Ireland
The initial contacts for the programme have been established in Greece and Ireland
www.ioas.gr
We welcome others and many have expressed interest

AuthorityThe pilot programme encourages a link between the National Scouting Organisation (NSO) and the National Road Safety Authority or Agency • Relationships nationally and internationally governed by a
mutually
agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

• National Scout Organisation implements the activities through its
members
• A programme of advocacy and publicity will be jointly prepared

The Scout Method
• Committing to a set of values
• Learning by doing
• Working in small groups
• Peer based learning
• Increasing self governance and volunteerism
The Scout Method offers an approach to learning that could be highly effective in promoting a positive attitude to Road Safety and is focussed on building character and influencing behaviour
