Text of Motivation Dear Fellow Scouts, I believe in the values, principles and the active role that the Scout Movement plays in the development of youth and in the dynamic role of youth in developing the Movement to stay attractive in the future. I have been involved in my NSO at local, regional, international level and represented the Arab Region and WOSM at international events. This experience has given me knowledge of the decision-making processes and organizational development and I am sure I can use these skills as a youth advisor. My background and participation in cultural exchange programmes and interreligious dialogue gave me an experience of the complexity of the world, taught me how to deal with people from different backgrounds and cultures, and how beneficiary it is for Scouting to work together across borders. Through my work leading joint projects with other NGOs and as a member in many other organizations, I have experienced how important it is to be in direct contact with young people, listen to their voices and to focus on their needs. Youth Advisors need to focus on youth, mix their initiatives and positive contributions with experience to improve the Youth Forum to serve its purpose as an educational event, and to set new activities and increase youth empowerment and involvement in decision making at all levels. They should draw attention to new issues in society like entrepreneurship beside current issues and think about building partnerships with funding agents to increase the leading role of the WOSM in creating a better world. I am eager to work and learn for the best of the Scout Movement, we live in one world and have the same vision. I will give my energy, experience and I will do my best towards the youth and Scouts around the world, we need to think global and act local. I hope you will entrust me with the position as youth advisor to the World Scout Committee.

Text of Motivation Being able to live the changes in youth involvement in my association has helped me realize the important role that we play in the decision-making process, not only for our associations but for making better Scouting in the future. As National Youth Network Coordinator, I know the hard work and the impact of the results of our actions and decisions, strengthening year-by-year youth involvement at our National Youth Forums. I have also learned, by planning international events such as the 22nd WSJ (2011) and the upcoming 24th WSJ (2019), that as a Youth member your contributions and ideas can help thousands of Scouts to enjoy a long period of hard and constant work, that’s why it is important to take seriously each word and role given. I understand that the role of an advisor is not to represent a specific country or region but to help increase youth participation in decision-making and strengthen youth involvement in our Movement. I also know that this is a long-term responsibility and a time consuming one, but I’ve learned to manage my responsibilities and time, and by summer of 2017 I still visualize myself in Scouting. I am sure that the responsibility of a Youth Advisor is very important, challenging and demanding, but I also have to say that this won’t be difficult to accomplish. I have the time and passion and I must assure that I will work hard to fulfill this responsibility. Because of the before mentioned, my experience and my willingness to make a better Movement worldwide I want to be part of the team, I'm prepared to be a Youth Advisor.
