Apart from our role as the World Scout Bureau, which is clearly defined in the WOSM Constitution, we have distilled a list of seven simple key core functions we deliver to all of our members. To that extent, the World Scout Bureau is committed to support the Scout Movement in creating a better world by:
- Providing service to NSOs thus enabling them to provide better Scouting to more young people in their countries.
- Ensuring the growth of the Movement in countries where Scouting does not yet exist, as well as in new communities in countries where Scouting already exists.
- Supporting the governance of the Movement and providing institutional support to NSOs.
- Supporting the development of policies, standards and guidelines for Scouting.
- Developing initiatives, programmes and projects on topics of interest for the Movement (e.g., Sustainable Development Goals, peace, environment, gender equality, humanitarian action, etc.).
- Organising Regional and World Scouting events.
- Communicating, building partnerships and mobilising resources.
- Advocating for non-formal education and influencing positive change in the world.
