From Intent to Impact: Introducing Impact of Scouting
Understanding the impact of Scouting and its educational methods is complex and multifaceted. In the Scouting context, we understand the impact as an effect on the personal development of young people and, through them, on societies. Our best-intended work may have a positive or negative impact or, ultimately, no impact at all.
Through Social Impact, the newest WOSM Service, National Scout Organizations can better underscores the importance of impact measurement by quantifying the effects of their educational offerings, strategies, and actions. As a result, members can reinforce effective practices and revise those that fall short of our intended goals.
