Better Scouting for More Young People

For over a hundred years, Scouting has been making a real contribution to creating a better world by helping young people to develop their full potential as individuals and to play a constructive role in society. However, Scouting can only have a real impact as a social force if it is able to attract and retain young people - and supporting adults - long enough to really make a difference.

As a voluntary Movement, young people must make a conscious decision to join and to stay. It is therefore unrealistic to assume that Scouting will appeal to all young people. However, there are many more young people – and supporting adults - who would enjoy and benefit from Scouting than we currently serve.

While the growth of our Movement is ultimately the result of delivering high-quality Scouting, haphazard growth is not sustainable. The factors affecting the growth and development of associations vary from one country to another, but, whatever the situation, offering better Scouting to more young people requires a strategic focus.

 

On the basis of WOSM’s Constitution, this paper provides a compact but comprehensive overview of the key elements which characterize our Movement and its mission.

 

The World Adult Resources Handbook is to help National Scout Organizations design and operate a system for the management, training and development of adult leaders in all functions and at all levels of the Movement. It has been produced by the World Adult Resources Committee. The handbook includes the relevant sections from the earlier International Training Handbook, as well as more recent World Scout Bureau publications on "Adults in Scouting" and "Adult Resource Management". The 2005 edition replaces the 2002 edition. All chapters have been revised and a new section with training modules has been added.

A reference document containing the full text of WOSM's Policy on Adult Resources as adopted by the 33rd World Scout Conference in Bangkok, 1993.

 

This booklet is intended to help everyone interested in gaining a greater understanding of how Scouting works as an educational system.
It has been been written as a tool for the Youth Programme and Adult Resources teams at national level, but it is hoped that it can be of use for all those at other levels who do their best to provide support to Scout leaders.

 

This document builds on "1. Understanding the Mission Statement", described above. Understanding the mission statement and using it within each Scout association is an important step. However, the next step towards achieving Scouting's mission in today's world requires examining the key challenges that face our Movement, considering the issues that underlie each of the challenges and taking action.

 

This document examines Scouting's mission statement and offers a variety of ways of looking at the text. The aim of this document is to help WOSM's national Scout associations around the world to understand, translate and disseminate the mission statement in their own language and culture.
