Task Force
A Governance Review Task Force (GRTF) has been established by the World Scout Committee in accordance with the 37th World Scout Conference Resolution 7/05.
The GRTF's mission is to conduct a comprehensive review of the governance of WOSM and formulate proposals toward the future, with special reference to the promotion and consolidation of the "Unity" of the Movement.
The proposals will be the result of a deep and widely participatory analysis of the present situation and the possible developments on how World Scouting governs itself, its relevance and recognition in the global context as a legitimate organisation with recognised values which are beneficial to society generally.

The Governance Review Task Force met for three days in Geneva from to 14 to 16 December to prepare its report to the World Scout Committee. The meeting was very productive, and included discussions with the Chairman of the Constitutions Committee.
This meeting was planned some time ago to come at the end of all the discussions and consultations that members of the task force have had with National Scout Organizations at the six Regional Conferences in 2007.
Many thanks to all those National Scout Organisations who have contacted us with their comments on the Governance Review. This is most helpful and we are encouraged by those who take this project seriously enough to give is their considered opinions. Rest assured that all the points made will be take fully into account.
The Governance Review Task Force (GRTF) has held their first meeting since the appointment of David Bull as Chairman. With all members present, the meeting took place in Geneva on the 10th - 11th February, 2007. The discussions focused on defining the context of the task force's work, reviewing progress so far, and setting specific objectives for the work to be carried out.
