Academic papers from the 4th World Scout Congress

This collection of six academic publications provides a comprehensive look into the diverse initiatives and impacts within Scouting education. They were collected as part of an open call for the 4th World Scout Education Congress that was held on 1-3 December in Paris, France. The topics of the papers include youth development and values education; promoting gender equality; the cognitive impact of social media on young people; integration of Scouting education in national systems; mental health in leadership training; and addressing youth unemployment through Scouting programmes.

Together these publications underscore the Scout Movement's commitment to shaping well-rounded individuals and leaders. The narratives also showcase the Scouting’s ability to adapt to modern challenges, positioning our Movement as a dynamic force in global education and sustainable development.
