This four-day seminar was designed for programme developers or members of the National Programme Committee, for the Rover Section. The seminar was also an opportunity for participants to discuss the promising practices on the implementation of the Scouts of the World Award.

The aim of the seminar was to gather key Scout leaders from National Scout Organizations in the Asia-Pacific Region and share with them the technical process of developing the Scouts of the World Award and revitalise the programme for Senior Scouts and Rover Sections (15-26 age range) for effective implementation towards the continuous growth of Scouting.

Participants had the opportunity to learn about and share: the implementation of Scouts of the World Award within the Rover section, the Scouts of the World Discovery, Scouts of the World Voluntary Service, Scouts of the World Bases, Scouts of the World Network, Scouts of the World Partnership, and Support structures.

The seminar involved working sessions where Scouts got to work together in small groups.

The training team comprised of APR Programme Sub-Committee Chairman Mari Nakano as Chairman of the Seminar together with Julie Creed (National Programme Commissioner from Australia), Syd Castillo (Programme Director WSB-AP Office) and Andres Morales (Unit Manager, Adolescents & Young Adults, World Scout Bureau). Giving support to the Forum were Regional Chairman Eric Khoo and Regional Director Abdullah Rasheed.

This seminar is part of the worldwide plan to implement the Scouts of the World Award. Other Regions are strongly encouraged to organise similar events and initiatives. For more information, please email or contact him on +41 22 705 10 47.
