In 2024, we advanced our 2022\u20132030 Strategy<\/strong> to increase support for World Scouting. Highlights for me included our strong engagement with Scout leadership and key partners at the World Scout Conference in August; the holding of our first-ever annual Baden-Powell Fellowship Event in South America<\/strong> for BP Fellows and guests in stunning Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and the undertaking of a thorough Strategy progress review, which resulted in some adjustments to our indicators and enablers to ensure continued momentum.<\/p>\nWe reassessed and balanced our expectations of individual donors \u2014 our BP Fellows, Honours Programme Members, and \u201cnew network\u201d donors who gift smaller, vital online donations to emergency appeals and local projects<\/strong>.
