About the events

Shaping the future of the World Scout Movement

In August 2021, the 42nd World Scout Conference and 14th World Scout Youth Forum brought together a total of more than 3,000 leaders from 170 National Scout Organizations and global partners to shape the future of the world’s leading educational youth Movement. 
 
The Conference and Youth Forum were the largest gatherings convened in the event’s 100-year history, and provided a platform for participants to play an active role in shaping the standards, policies and shared goals of the Scout Movement worldwide.
 
The theme “Bridging the World” challenged young people and participants to build bridges in their communities and across borders between National Scout Organizations, emphasising the need to work together to put our planet on a path towards peace and sustainability.

Connected around the world

Largest virtual Conference and Youth Forum

The virtual World Scout Youth Forum and Conference events will offered a positive and engaging experience for all participants. A virtual conferencing platform will connected delegates together and allowed participants to be directly involved in discussions and decision-making opportunities from around the world.
