Introducing Impact of Scouting

What is Impact of Scouting, why is it in WOSMS’ Strategic Priorities, how it can be useful to MOs? Are some of the questions this session will explore. This will be a participatory session. Participants will be introduced to the key concepts that underpin the Strategic Priority work on Impact of Scouting.

At the end of the session, participants will;

• Learn what Impact of Scouting is, and why we engage in it
• explore the different types of impact that can be considered from scouting
• understand the approach for impact measurement that has been developed by WOSM over the preceding years
• understand the concept of the “Impact Lifecycle” and how it can be used to drive continuous improvement for NSOs/NSAs/MOs
• understand how Impact of Scouting will be used in the future Service on Impact

By the end of the session, participants will have developed a small personal action plan on steps they can take to introduce the principles of impact measurement into their NSOs/NSAs/MOs

Target audience– Participants at a national level
