This is the World Organization of the Scout Movement's (WOSM's) latest comprehensive Membership Report, to be presented at the World Scout Conference in 2024. It provides NSOs with insights into WOSM’s membership data and trends.

The report has five key components:

The Strategy for Scouting Vision 2023 Period
In addition to the Triennium 2021-2024, this report reflects the WOSM membership status and trends since 2014, marking the start of Vision 2023. The report is based on official census declarations from NSOs and additional data gathered by the World Scout Bureau, covering the period from 2014 to 2024. While the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected membership retention and growth across our NSOs, it is encouraging to see the membership recovery across our movement.
