The 13th World Youth Scout Forum is underway in Gabala bringing together more than 320 young people from 130 countries.

The event is co-organized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the Azerbaijan Association of Scouts with the support of Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Youth and Sports, Trend Life reported.

The forum inspires young people to develop leadership qualities through critical decision-making that can be used not only in scouting, but also for the benefit of society.

During the forum the participants will work in sessions, and participate in presentations on active citizenship and leadership.

Also, guests may enjoy the fascinating 360 Market Place, where delegates will present individual projects demonstrating the achievements of the scouts in improving the social environment and the development of society. On the final day, during the "Open forum" all members will have opportunity to debate on various topics.

Moreover, the Azerbaijan Association of Scouts has prepared a special "Evening of culture", where representatives of the participating countries will be able to present their cultural and historical traditions, through the demonstration of national costumes, food, music and dancing.

In addition, the Forum will hold the election of the six youth advisors to the World Scout Committee for 2017-2020. The main goal of the youth counselors is to promote the growth of the role of youth in the decision-making process in the world organization of the scout movement.

The chairman of the Forum and current young consultant Jeremy Apert noted that the World Scout Youth Forum is a unique opportunity for the young generation to contribute to the future of our movement and be a leader today.

After the 13th World Scout Youth Forum, young leaders will gather at the 41st World Scout Conference.

The World Scout Conference will be held at the Baku Congress Center on August 14-18.

The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is the largest international Scouting organization, attracting millions of young people who become active citizens, creating positive changes in the societies in which they live.

The Association of Scouts of Azerbaijan is the national Scouting organization of Azerbaijan and was founded in 1997, and became the member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement on August 20, 2000.
