“The Mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.”
The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is one of the largest youth organisations in the world. Scouting is a grassroots educational youth movement that is truly bottom-up in its structure and approach in engaging young people from all over the world.
World Scouting today is a confederation of 173 National Scout Organizations (NSOs) in a network of over 57 million members in more than 1 million local community Scout groups. Some 5 million members are adult volunteers who support local activities resulting in a huge multiplier effect.
Through peer-to-peer leadership supported by adults, each local Scout Group embraces the same set of values illustrated in the Scout Promise and Law. Each of our 1 million local Scout Groups follows a similar system of non-formal education suited to the unique aspects of their local community.
WOSM is an independent, worldwide, non-profit, and non-partisan organisation, which serves the Scout Movement through its NSO members. Its purpose is to promote unity and the understanding of Scouting’s purpose and principles, while facilitating its expansion and development.
The World Scout Bureau (WSB) is the Secretariat of WOSM. It comprises of approximately 130 professional staff, based in nine locations worldwide:
The World Scout Conference is the governing body, the “general assembly” of Scouting, and is composed of all the NSO members of WOSM. It meets every three years, and its function is to consider the policy and standards of the Scout Movement throughout the world, formulate the general policy and take the action required to further the purpose of the Movement.
The World Scout Committee (WSC) is the executive body of WOSM. It is responsible for the implementation of the resolutions of the World Scout Conference and acts on its behalf between its meetings. Every three years, 12 members of the WSC are elected (as voting Members) for a maximum consecutive term of six years at the World Scout Conference. The WSC has established six Scout Regions within WOSM, each comprising the NSO members within a geographical area. Each Region has a Regional Scout Conference, Committee, and Support Centre. The WSC also includes, as Ex-Officio Members, the six Regional Chairpersons, besides the Secretary General, the WOSM Treasurer, and a representative of the World Scout Foundation. Six Youth Advisors are additionally involved in the decisions and tasks of the WSC.
The Secretary General is appointed by the WSC to promote and safeguard the interests of the Movement. The Secretary General is the Chief Executive Officer of WOSM and directs its Secretariat, the World Scout Bureau (WSB).
The Chief Operating Officer provides overall coordination and leadership to the operations of the WSB Global Support Centre. Global Directors are the leads of each of the four worldwide core business areas of the WSB: Scouting Development, Organisational Development, Communications, Business Development and Corporate Services.
The Regional Directors are the leads of each of the WSB Regional Support Centres around the world and are responsible for the services delivered to the NSOs in their constituency. All the Global and Regional Directors (who form the Senior Management Team) report directly to the Secretary General and are each supported by a team of assistants, managers, and/or directors.
This role is co-financed by the World Scout Foundation, which exists to provide financial and other resources to WOSM by uniting a global network of donors in support of World Scouting. The Foundation is an international non-profit institution based in Switzerland. Its mission is to raise USD100 million by 2030 to contribute to the education and development of 100 million young, active citizens.
The Foundation’s Board, under the active leadership of its Honorary Chairman, His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, oversees all projects, investments, and the use of the different funds raised from individuals, corporations and other institutions. At the highest level, the Oversight Committee of the Foundation Board ensures governance oversight of the distribution of funds, via a robust grant making system, which is managed in partnership by WSF and WOSM. In 2022, a total of USD 6.9 million was disbursed to Scouting in the form of an Annual Operational Grant and earmarked funding for Scout projects. In line with its strategic goals, the Foundation together with WOSM seeks to increase funding streams from institutional partners to create a diversified income stream by 2030 and beyond.
