World Scout Committee

The World Scout Committee is the executive body of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. It is responsible for the implementation of the resolutions of the World Scout Conference and for acting on its behalf between its meetings.

The Committee is composed of the following members:

Voting members

  • Twelve elected members, each from a different country. They are elected by the World Scout Conference by secret ballot, for a six-year term. (Note: The World Scout Conference in 2008 decided that, starting at the next World Conference in 2011, elected members will serve for only three years, but be eligible for re-election for one additional term.)

Ex-officio non-voting members

  • The Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of each duly elected Regional Scout Committee
  • The Secretary General of the World Organization
  • The Treasurer, who is appointed by the World Scout Committee
  • A member of the Board of the World Scout Foundation

The Committee normally meets twice a year, usually in Geneva, Switzerland. Its Steering Committee, consisting of the Chairperson, two Vice-Chairpersons and the Secretary General, meets as needed.
