The need to support National Scout Organizations (NSOs) in developing their training capacity was recognised a long time ago. Since the 26th World Scout Conference in Montreal 1977, NSOs have been entrusted with this responsibility. Efforts have been made on improving and expanding training material to assist NSOs to develop relevant training schemes and programmes, organise their courses, and increase the skills and capability of their trainers. The International Training Handbook was initially produced and updated periodically during those years.

This special publication shows the innovative efforts of Scouts in different countries as they step up to the challenges of the COVID 19 in their local communities.

As our organisations navigate the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, there are a number of key issues that NSO leaders should take into consideration, as well as steps they can take to reshape the new reality and plan for recovery. 

Explore this resource to learn more about the five priorities identified as important to consider in your NSO's recovery.
