"Leaders of Innovation"
The theme of the 39th World Scout Conference is "Leaders of Innovation".
Innovation means to ‘try out new ideas’. Innovation can be used to describe the results of small incremental changes or large, substantial changes. Scouting is a Movement, so we expect it to develop and change over time, however innovations are only valuable when they are combined with effective and inspired Leadership that is capable of ensuring sustained progress and growth.
In preparing the documentation for the conference, we have looked both at the way this has been distributed in the past and looked forward to how this may be done in the future. Some changes have come about as a result of that reflection and these innovations are presented here on our web site from today.
Triennial Review 2008-2011
The first change has been to the format in which the triennium 2008-2011 is being reported on to the conference, taking into account Conference Resolution 10/08 from our last conference held in Korea. This resolution decided that the World Scout Committee Triennial Report should be considered as a World Scout Conference document in its own right. Taken together with the Reports of the Chairman of the World Scout Committee, of the Secretary General and of the World Treasurer, these elements constitute part of the Triennial Review 2008-2011 which will be presented to the 39th World Scout Conference in Brazil, in January 2011.
