1. Regional Communication Forum Programme & Expectations By the World Scout Bureau, External Relations & Marketing Team

2. Programme of the session

3. ‘ The World Scout Committee Members have chosen three actions to shape the dynamics of the 2008-2011 mandate. One of these actions is " Tell the story ". This invites us all to leave our isolation to make communication a priority action, both within the Movement as well as outside of it… Message from the World Scout Committee Therese Bermingham Chairman Scouting’s Profile Committee

4. … We must integrate training modules within the curriculum of Scout leaders that teach how to tell the story of what Scouting does. This training and support programme were created to help you become the best promoters of an education product in which we all believe: the famous Scout Method!" “ Be Prepared to Tell the Story!” Therese Bermingham Chairman Scouting’s Profile Committee

5. “ We will definitively have to invent new operational ways of working – thinking “out of the box”. My ambition is that every actor in Scouting at every level becomes a giver and a receiver, a contributor and a beneficiary. We shall assist our NSOs to identify their needs and mobilise appropriate knowledge, expertise and resources to respond to these needs… Message from the Secretary General Luc Panissod Secretary General World Scout Bureau

6. … We need to encourage growth in our NSOs and better communicate our success stories inside and outside the Movement to further build the visibility and credibility of Scouting. All together we can portray Scouting as being relevant to the issues facing young people in today’s world and a reliable partner to attract further support.” “ Build the visibility and credibility of Scouting” Luc Panissod Secretary General World Scout Bureau

15. Our ways of working Get the key Communication has a code. We will try to get it. We will know how to unlock the doors. Open the doors We need to open the doors and look wide. No taboos. We will address all issues, even the difficult ones. Open minds. Open hearts. Open eyes. Reach out Scouting is open to all. Really? There is no growth without a clear will to reach out to new people. Our communication shall reflect openness and the will to reach out.

16. Our training method Building collective mind • Scouting is about team spirit. • Collective action needs a collective mind. • Social and cultural innovation need a clear vision of the future. Building individual capacities • Scouting needs innovative leaders. • Each one can be an agent of change. • Learning is a life-long process.

18. Which language do we speak?

19. Which language do we speak? Language is a code Language is essential to communicate. Verbal language. Body language too! English is our working language Most of us are not English mother tongue. We do our best to be understood. Perhaps we need time to translate our thoughts. How do we speak and listen? Slowly. Loudly. We carefully listen to the ones who are not fluent.
