Strategy for Scouting
The new Strategy for Scouting was unanimously approved at the 43rd World Scout Conference in August 2024, and will guide the global Movement for the next decade. Along with the World Triennial Plan for 2024-2027, this strategy was shaped by Member Organizations working together to address key issues like sustainability, youth leadership, and peace education.
