44th World Scout Conference Solidarity Fund
Our aim is to make the 44th World Scout Conference the most inclusive and accessible yet. To help us achieve this we have set up a solidarity fund to support participants from countries that may otherwise find attending the conference financially challenging.
We know the power of bringing people together in person, and this fund will directly help those that might not otherwise be able to attend. By having more diverse voices, we can grow a stronger future for World Scouting.
Find out more about how the Solidarity Fund has supported people from all over the globe at previous World Scout Conferences.
Before the Conference, I was unsure whether my voice mattered in the global Scout Movement. Thanks to the Solidarity Fund, I not only attended my first World Scout Conference, but I spoke up in meaningful discussions, connected with global peers, and returned home with renewed purpose. This support gave me more than a ticket — it gave me confidence.
