Dear colleagues,
Whether you are new to the World Scout Bureau or been working for the organisation for many years, thank you for your dedication and commitment to our shared mission. Together, we are shaping a global movement that equips millions of young people and volunteers with the skills, values and confidence they need to be ready for life.
At the Bureau, we are more than colleagues, we are a team of dedicated professionals across the planet united by a shared purpose and a belief in the power of young people to create a better world. We work in different Practice Teams and Support Centre Teams, but we act as the “One WSB”. It’s that spirit that allows us to support National Scout Organizations with clarity, consistency, and real impact.
This platform is here to support you in your journey while working for the Bureau. Whether you’re just learning the ropes or deepening your contribution, this is your space. The Staff Support Centre is a living resource where you’ll find policies, guidance, tools, and updates that help us work together in ways that reflect the WSB’s four key values - being respectful, people-centred, collaborative, and impactful. How we work is just as important as what we do.
As OneWSB, we are structured to collaborate across the world in a matrix model that connects Support Centre Teams with Practice Teams. This allows us to provide consistent, high‑quality support to National Scout Organizations while drawing on diverse perspectives and areas of expertise.
Together, as one team, we bring our value proposition to life, working in an flexible, coordinated, and impactful way. Guided by the Strategy for Scouting, we collaborate across roles, functions, and locations to help our organisation grow and operate with greater effectiveness and efficiency each day.
Please use the Staff Support Centre to explore various resources and articles related to our work, and please reach out to the People and Culture team if you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions for continuous improvement. Let’s keep shaping our culture together - one that strengthens our ability to contribute meaningfully to our mission, and can support your career growth, personal health and well-being.
Thank you for being part of One WSB. Let’s continue building a workplace where we all feel inspired every day and where our work opens new opportunities for young people around the planet.
