GLB-C25-2026
Dear friends,
Article XII.5 of the WOSM Constitution states that "the World Scout Conference shall record and adopt its own rules of procedure” The World Scout Committee released the proposed Rules of Procedure for the 44th World Scout Conference in London, United Kingdom, through Circular GLB-C22-2026. Member Organizations wishing to learn more about the proposed Rules of Procedure can visit the dedicated webpage at scoutconference.org/rules-of-procedure to access:
- Proposed Rules of Procedure, including annexes.
- Recording of a webinar for NSOs held on 31 October 2026, as well as its supporting resources.
Adopting the Rules of Procedure will provide a clear and timely framework for how the Conference will operate, including its proceedings and decision-making processes.
The World Scout Committee is therefore now opening the customary electronic referendum and invites Member Organizations to vote in accordance with Article XI.4 of the WOSM Constitution.
Official contacts of Member Organizations, as listed in the World Scouting Directory, are requested to cast their organisation’s ballot by emailing the completed ballot form to the World Scout Bureau at [email protected] by 23:59 UTC on 28 December 2026.
For any further questions about the proposed Rules of Procedure, its annexes or the conduct of the referendum, please contact Winnie Marutle Joseph, Director Legal and Institutional, with the World Scout Bureau by email at [email protected]
Yours in Scouting,
David Berg
Secretary General
