Singapore Scouts Association has a challenge in involving Rover Scouts in decision-making as it is a school-based organisation and young people in the 17-26 age-range must complete 2 years of national service. There is a annual National Rover Scout Forum so that Rover Scouts can meet and plan activities on a yearly basis.
Scouts Australia has incorporated Youth Involvement in decision-making structurally in Scouting with a number of different structures and events to ensure that young people have their say at all levels in the association.
Indonesia is the forth highest populated country in the world with around 200 million inhabitants.
