Conference Report
focus on worldwide news (natural disasters) and offer the experience of former
guides and scouts who have had a long professional activity or raise money to help
the inhabitants in one way or another
To reach these objectives :
The World Committee will have to:
make a list of the tasks and to distribute them to the different members according to
their wish, to their skills, to their available time (rejuvenation means younger members
and some of the new members may still have a professional activity)
redefine and coordinate harmoniously all the tasks to be assumed by the World
Committee, the Regional Committees and the World Bureau.
improve our communication network by making the access to Internet and Website
easier, by trying to have translations of the WGM in other languages (Spanish,
Arabic, Russian, local languages...) as long as it does not cost to ISGF
promote the Fellowship Day
up-date the existing literature (booklets, etc...) and always have kits ready to be sent
when asked for by a NSGF
evaluate the new fee system
improve and develop the already existing fund raising systems (Stamp bank,
Development Fund)
with the Chair of the International Ambassadors Fellowship Guild, create a project to
increase publicity for this Guild and incite individuals and NSGF to become members
And the World Committee should:
study the situation of ISGF within the United Nations and then study the way to have
representatives at least in Paris, Geneva, Vienna and Rome.
reinforce the relations with WAGGGS and WOSM,
1. by keeping the statement of relationships up-to-date, to encourage more
concrete cooperation and partnership
2. by ensuring continual real participation of ISGF World Committee Members in
WAGGGS and WOSM World and Regional Conferences and by having
representatives of WAGGGS and WOSM in ISGF World and Regional
Conferences/gatherings
3. by encouraging WAGGGS and WOSM to promote membership of ISGF, once
their leaders are no longer active
And also, the World Committee should rapidly think of an action for the Centenary of
Scouting in 2007 and develop a public relations plan by using the modern methods of
publicity especially in sight of this Centenary (besides the participation in the Jam or being in
an IST).
