Global Support Assessment Tool (GSAT)
Strengthening your National Scout Organization (NSO) starts by assessing it against a quality standard and continuously measuring progress. We call this an NSO’s "health check".
WOSM’s Global Support Assessment Tool (GSAT) enables NSOs to assess their capacity against international best practices in good governance and quality Scouting. With this global benchmarking tool, NSOs can identify their strengths and areas for improvement, as well as measure ongoing progress across various dimensions, such as good governance, strategic framework, adults In Scouting, youth programme, and growth, enabling WOSM to provide targeted support based on specific needs.
There are two types of GSAT Assessments:
📊 Self-Assessment - NSOs can evaluate the current state of their organisation at any time.
📊 WOSM Assessment - Provides an NSO with an external perspective of their operations across all ten GSAT dimensions.
