Youth Leadership in Decision Making Framework

This document outlines the perspectives of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) regarding the integration of young individuals into decision-making structures within National Scout Organizations and Associations (NSOs/NSAs). It provides a straightforward and high-level overview of this crucial topic. The framework is designed primarily for high-level governance structures, such as National Boards, offering them guidance on adopting and implementing youth leadership in their decision-making processes. This document aims to support the meaningful engagement of youth at all levels of the organisation, from local Scout groups to the national level in the NSO/NSA, and to the regional and global levels in WOSM.
