2022 was a transformative year for the Foundation in terms of governance and operations. The Board welcomed non-Board Members onto its Committees for Investment, Audit, Oversight and Fundraising to boost diversity and expertise to support the Strategy implementation.<\/p>\n

Changes to the Foundation\u2019s Deed were accepted by the Federal Supervisory Authority for Foundations in Switzerland following approval by the Board, to re-activate the previously dormant Life Member category; clarify the terms of office for Board Members and Officers; and allow for the third ex-officio WOSM representative to be chosen from any of the elected World Scout Committee members instead of just one of the two Vice-Chairpersons.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Board Meetings and Decisions<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

The Foundation Board met twice in 2022: in April, in Dublin alongside the 74th BP Fellowship Event, and in September, in Luxembourg, by kind invitation of the Foundation\u2019s Chair. Board Committees met in person prior to each meeting, and the new Fundraising Committees met for the first time in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<\/div>
