Triennial Plan 2011-2014

“Leadership. Innovation. Service.”

Resolutions adopted by the World Scout Conference are important since they inevitably shape the work of both the WSC and the WSB for the period until the next World Scout Conference. One should not forget, however, that these Resolutions represent only a part of the work of the WSC and WSB since they deal with specific topics or themes and fall within a much larger and wider scope of work which stretches beyond the period between two World Conferences.

We are pleased to attach Crisis – how to respond to the socio-economic challenges so that the advice and thinking can be shared more widely.

Africa Region

“Reaching stakeholders, more effectively, with the Scout message” is the focus of the communication strategy for Africa for the year 2011-2012.
