Together with the World Scout Bureau APR staff, we managed to meet 23 times to review the progress of regional operations. Proceedings of all those meetings were shared on the same day with members of the Regional Scout Committee, sub-committee chairmen, and regional consul- tants through the Committee Update. Apart from those meetings, I managed to attend the annual Management Meetings in Manila together with World Scout Bureau executives (Geneva and Manila), Chairman of APR Management and Regional Treasurer.

As we always say, a Scout is always a Scout. At the same time, our strategy of support was innovative where we shifted from CNV mission to the more direct consultancy with NSOs. To maximize our human resource is the creation of a regional Specialist Panel that identifies the exper- tise of individuals who can serve as consultants in specific disciplines where they are required. We set a regional membership target that resulted in significant increase of young and adult members, and a guideline for developing membership growth strategies. With our mem- bership largely school-based, we expanded our focus on community-based Scouting, such as tapping the unreached horizons of Scouting. At this conference, we are recognizing NSOs who have done well in membership growth in two areas: those who developed and implemented a growth strategy, and those who increased their membership annually. The initiative on Messengers of Peace was a vital aspect in our operations. We are supporting MoP projects at various stages in Indonesia, Sri Lan- ka, India, Pakistan, Australia, Japan, Philippines, Bhutan, New Zealand, Nepal and Maldives. On strategic planning, the Regional Scout Com- mittee had a direct hand in the brainstorming of the APR Plan 2012-2015 using the systems approach and involving all sub-committees in the planning process. The result of this work APR Triennial Report 2009-2012 5 Executive Summary Inspired by the APR Vision 2013, this Triennial Report is based largely on the region’s strategic plan for 2009-2012, covering the region’s accomplishments from the last Asia-Pacific Regional Conference of November 2009 (Kuala Lumpur) to the current conference of November 2012 (Dhaka). It incorporates the seven strategic priorities and includes initiatives such as Global Support and Messengers of Peace that were launched within the last three years. The region’s achievements also go beyond the scope of the 3-year timeframe of the strategic plan. National Scout Organizations (NSOs) and the region have instituted many good practices for decades, such as large-scale events for young people, continuous training of adult leaders, management courses for executives, regional publications and several others. Outlined below are the aims and key elements of the seven strategic areas: Young People Finance The strategic priority focuses on empowering Effective financial management to- young people at unit level and increasing in- wards self-reliance is the main goal of volvement of young people in decision-making this priority, including strengthening processes at all levels in their NSO.
