Leo Index
www.european-leos.eu
Imagine a world, where you can find
among every 1’000 people 1 Leo.
• The Leo Index was created by the ILOs to
compare the strength of the Leo
movement in the countries; not to blame
weak Leo countries but to encourage
them to support Leos!
• The index compares the amount of Leos
to the amount of inhabitants.
• An index of 1 means the country has
reached the goal of 1 Leo per 1’000
inhabitants.
Inhabitants (in 1’000)
