Annual Report 2001-2002

A message from the Chairman Suk-Won Kim

"I am sure that all members of our worldwide Scout Movement join me in extending deep and sincere sympathy to everyone that was struck by the catastrophe of September 11th that shattered or changed so many lives in the United States and around the world…"

With these warm words, our Honorary President, His Majesty, Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden addressed the 44th Baden-Powell Fellowship Event which was rescheduled following the tragic events which changed the world.

Scouts throughout the world have been struck by these events, and have taken time to refocus on the core values on which their Movement is based – international friendship and understanding, community service, and a spirit of confidence in the face of an
even more difficult challenge. (...)

So, this annual report of the World Scout Foundation focuses on facing these challenges – with these essential core values of Scouting, what is the future strategy in a world which has changed forever.

I firmly believe that the world needs Scouting more than ever. It is our role to enable Scouts throughout the world to maximise their impact. Our "bottom line" will measure that.

Thank you for your continued support to Scouting!
