The World Adult Resources Handbook is to help National Scout Organizations design and operate a system for the management, training and development of adult leaders in all functions and at all levels of the Movement. It has been produced by the World Adult Resources Committee. The handbook includes the relevant sections from the earlier International Training Handbook, as well as more recent World Scout Bureau publications on "Adults in Scouting" and "Adult Resource Management". The 2005 edition replaces the 2002 edition. All chapters have been revised and a new section with training modules has been added.
A practical tool to introduce the concept of 'Adults in Scouting' in an association.

A reference document containing the full text of WOSM's Policy on Adult Resources as adopted by the 33rd World Scout Conference in Bangkok, 1993.
This booklet is intended to help everyone interested in gaining a greater understanding of how Scouting works as an educational system.
It has been been written as a tool for the Youth Programme and Adult Resources teams at national level, but it is hoped that it can be of use for all those at other levels who do their best to provide support to Scout leaders.
This document builds on "1. Understanding the Mission Statement", described above. Understanding the mission statement and using it within each Scout association is an important step. However, the next step towards achieving Scouting's mission in today's world requires examining the key challenges that face our Movement, considering the issues that underlie each of the challenges and taking action.
This document examines Scouting's mission statement and offers a variety of ways of looking at the text. The aim of this document is to help WOSM's national Scout associations around the world to understand, translate and disseminate the mission statement in their own language and culture.
