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.
