In-depth research was conducted on the possible modalities to deliver the 42nd World Scout Conference and 14th World Scout Youth Forum in August 2021.
The research took into account the impact of the pandemic on large-scale international events with a focus on how to ensure the delivery of an engaging and inclusive programme to support the health and well-being of participants, meet constitutional requirements, and reflect valuable feedback received from NSOs.
Through the research and feedback received from NSOs, it is regrettably concluded that in the current and forecasted circumstances, it is not viable to safely and inclusively organise any in-person large-scale international events in August 2021.
