The Deutschsprachige Konferenz (DSK) ("German-speaking Conference") is the international community of scout and guide national organisations in the German-speaking countries. Members of this informal group are the scout organisations registered with WOSM and WAGGGS in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Belgium, but also in the Netherlands, Ireland, South Tyrol, Hungary and Poland.
The DSK started as a language-based meeting, but has developed into a common platform aimed at informal cooperation between WOSM/WAGGGS organisations.
Since then, the DSK has met annually in the first half of March. The DSK takes place in a different DSK member country each year. Each DSK has a different theme chosen by the organising association. The member associations usually send a delegation consisting of members of the respective international teams. It is customary to also invite German-speaking members of the WOSM and WAGGGS governing bodies at European or world level.
