As part of the 43rd World Scout Conference, all National Scout Organizations (NSOs) are invited to participate in a unique and meaningful project: the World Scouting Time Capsule. This capsule will be sealed on the final day of the Conference and opened near the end of the next Triennium, symbolising our collective commitment to the future of Scouting.
The time capsule will embody our dedication to the next Strategy for Scouting, showcasing our hopes and opportunities for young people and future generations. It will prompt us to reflect on what we can contribute to support the continuous development of young people, equipping them with the skills, experience, and knowledge necessary to face the challenges of society and our planet.

We encourage each NSO to thoughtfully select an item that aligns with the following guidelines:
