The impact of your support

Thanks to the generous and continued support of our dedicated donors to World Scouting, including institutional donors and Members of the Honours Programme, we were able to support project funding for World Scouting in 2024, as follows:

“Scouting has instilled in me, and my friends, the skills, values and attitudes that are increasingly important in the world today. We see time and time again how Scouts put these skills, values and attitudes into practice, including when disaster strikes or their communities are in need. In times like these, Scouts symbolise the very best of international solidarity and friendship. Your continued support for Scouting, and your efforts to reach out to new BP Fellows will help ensure that more young people can thrive in Scouting in their communities around the world.” 

Rob Woolford, Chair, World Scout Foundation

“Scouting contributes to a number of SDGs from quality education to gender equality. Scouts accelerate change where it’s most needed in the world. And by being part of a global community, and by fundraising for a global community, and supporting it, you’re able to help where it’s most needed. You’re a catalyst that makes sure it doesn’t just go “where you know”, it goes where it’s most needed.”

Chrissy Pollithy, Member of the World Scout Committee & World Scout Foundation Board
