Virtually everywhere around the world
In August 2021, the 42nd World Scout Conference and 14th World Scout Youth Forum will bring together delegations from 171 National Scout Organizations and global partners to shape the future of the world’s leading educational youth movement.
The World Scout Conference and Youth Forum will be the largest ever convened in the event’s 100-year history, and will provide a platform for up to 3,500 participants to play an active role in shaping the standards, policies and shared goals of the Scout Movement worldwide.
The theme “Bridging the World” challenges 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.
