World Scout Conference
World Scout Conference
The World Scout Conference is the governing body or general assembly of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). It takes place every three years and provides an opportunity for Member Organizations to play an active role in shaping the standards, policies, and shared goals of the Scout Movement worldwide.
The Conference defines the general policy of WOSM and takes decisions to advance the purpose and interests of the Scout Movement. It also elects the voting members of the World Scout Committee, admits new Member Organizations to the Movement, and decides the host countries of future World Scout Events.
44th World Scout Conference
The next World Scout Conference will be hosted by The Scout Association in the London, United Kingdom in 2027. The event marks 120 years since Scouts was founded and 20 years since the 2007 World Scout Jamboree in Essex. It will feature an exciting programme that will inspire and empower with thought-provoking plenary sessions and enlightening keynote speeches from prominent leaders. Participants had the opportunity to engage in workshops and gatherings that foster collaboration, learning, and innovation.
