Professional activities: Student, practical work instructor in hematology
Scouting Experience:

Languages spoken: French (native speaker) and English (good)
NSO's Rationale for nomination: Scout ADOLI Latame Komla is a member of the group of trainers for Messengers of Peace and a national trainer of facilitators in dialogue for peace. He has had an exemplary academic and Scout training allowing him to be a young person able to bring added value to his environment and act as a reference point for young people. He organizes and participates in both national and international activities. His dynamism and activism in the association have enabled him to increase his skills in community projects, but also to develop his capacity in the field of assistance to young people and communities.
As Rover crew leader ADOLI Latame Komla is one of the young Scouts whose motivation and commitment brings new blood to Scouting at national, regional and international levels.
His election would bring a major contribution to World Scouting.
Candidate's Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? My first motivation is my desire to serve others. Scouting has taught me since I was little to do what we call a Good Turn and then to serve others. I would like to put my skills at the service of others; to make louder their voice and to represent them effectively everywhere as needs will be.
My second motivation is my desire to contribute to the completion of the 2023 Vision of Scouting, which is to make by 2023 Scouting the leading educational youth movement in the world, enabling 100 million young people to be active citizens creating positive change in their communities and in the world based on shared values.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? In my opinion the most important problems facing Scouting is that of Scout training and of communications these days. The observation is that many people join Scouting mainly because of the standing of Scouts or the Scout activities ... These persons must therefore be able to have adequate training to enable them to acquire the fundamentals of Scouting and to become active citizens in their communities. The Internet is an important channel to be used by Scouting to train and inform. But many of these people do not have access to the Internet, especially in rural areas. Scouting is an ideal framework that offers young people a non-formal education based on Scouting values.

My experience as a Young Advisor in the West Africa zone; As a MoP leader and as a member of the African Network of the University Scout Movement are major strengths for me. My dynamism and my leadership are the skills that I have gained through Scouting and from my professional training, and are also assets that allow me to assist World Scouting in the culmination of its Vision 2023.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? My style of leadership is that of an individual person who believes in harmony and who seeks cohesion. This style promotes interactions and allows me to understand the needs of others and to work to satisfy them. Also my style of leadership is that of a visionary leader, which mobilizes the crowds, gives a sense, communicates an inspiring vision for all and everyone.

Nominated by: Nepal Scouts
Age: 24
Educational background and qualifications: Graduate
Professional activities: Consultant
Scouting experience:
• National level: National Programme Commissioner
Languages spoken: English (fluent), Hindi (fluent) and Mandarin (good)
NSO’s Rationale for Nomination: Mr. Ram Prasad Bhattarai is a young and energetic Scout leader dedicating himself in the development of youth and the Scouting Movement.
Through Messengers of Peace (MOP) and Ticket to Life (TTL) programme Bahattarai has been able to generate new wave of motivation youth members of Nepal Scouts.
Mr. Bhattarai who halls for a hill part of the country has developed himself into a prominent Scout leader among the youth and the future of the country as a strong actor in the Scouting movement.
Mr. Bhattarai is actively putting himself into the Nepal Scouts Act amendments which will further stabilize Nepal Scouts as a leading NSO in the region.
Mr. Bhattarai, as a National programme commissioner, has worked out to set up an online registration data system which we believe, will take us towards transparency of the organisation.
Mr. Bhattarai holds such a capacity which enables him to raise the issues regarding youth empowerment and youth involvement at regional and global level.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? I put forward my candidacy as a representative from a least developed country. I want to link the emerging issues in Scouting of a country like ours to the world. There are several problems in Scouting specially in the field of youth participation or youth involvement. Because of the unique type of tradition, culture and system in every nationality, there seems a huge gap between youth and the adults which should be addressed by the World Scout Conference and World Scout Youth Forum and I would like to play the role of a liaison.
I am working in the field of Youth Programme as a National Programme Commissioner, which is directly related with the emerging issues and interests of youth in Scouting. I want to give my inputs to the field of Youth Programme at world level of Scouting from the experiences I have gathered in my 17 years of Scouting career.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? I think the core values of Scouting is shrinking because of globalisation and modernisation. In the other hand, the trend of Scouting is changing positively which will benefit the Movement. Sometimes, The Scout methods are limited only in policy. We need to preserve it by linking the traditional and the new way of Scouting.
Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Page 5 of 36 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 We can see the membership growth is one of the main opportunity at present but only in the developing countries. We have to think about the membership growth strategy specially in developed countries. We have to create more opportunities for the young and youth Scouts in this Movement professionally like life skill trainings and job opportunities etc.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? As I already mentioned, developing countries are the potential countries for more youth participation in the Movement regarding membership growth. But because of limited resources and funds, the rates of the membership growth in such developing NSOs are not satisfactory. WOSM should shortlist and support those NSOs to enhance their capacity in different sectors like, financial strength, good governance and programme planning.
We have to set more attractive and interesting programme to attract more young people in the Movement and for that WOSM should make international events less costly and must go for surveys regularly to assess the actual needs of the young people in Scouting.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? I joined Scouting on 2000, I experienced as patrol leader (as a Boy Scout), Troop leader (as a Boy Scout), senior Team mate (as a Rover Scout), and I know the patrol and team system. I cannot do anything without team.
I believe in team work and democratic leadership, even I am leading a Youth Programme department of my NSO with regular coordination of my chief and colleagues. I believe in participatory approach, as per the need of the situation I can take the right decision proactively.
As a Boy Scout, Rover Scout and a trainer, I learn and following the Scouting way of leadership. I believe in discipline and good order system, which is one of the strong parts of a leadership.

We firmly believe that Diana would be an honourable representative not only of our NSO but of all Scouts in the world. We trust that her professional background, her Scouting experience, and her commitment will be suitable to serve in the role of Youth Advisor.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? The Scout Movement for me has represented a space of education, fun, empowerment, service, and of course of friendships beyond borders. I joined the Movement when I was seven years old as a Cub Scout and I have great memories from all the different experiences I had the opportunity to live.
Page 8 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Document 5 – Youth 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 When I was 17, I became involved at the national level; I had the honour to have been elected to represent my Scout council at the National Scout Assembly and then being elected to serve in the National Scout Youth Network as its National Coordinator. While in this role, I had the opportunity to attend different international events, at the regional and world level, and I realised that other young people were looking for the same goals: youth empowerment and making Scouting a great experience in their local communities!
As a Youth Advisor, I want to contribute positively to the discussions at the world level and to learn from others’ ideas, especially in the topics of Youth Involvement and Sustainable Development, in which I feel passionate about. I firmly believe that intergenerational teamwork and intercultural dialogue are possible, always in accordance to our shared Scout values.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? Young people all over the world are changing their communities and innovating in different ways to make this world a better place. I strongly believe that Scouting is the top youth educational movement globally; however, we do lack a better way of communicating this to non- Scouts in order to inspire the world with our Movement and philosophy. With the new appointed Secretary General, WOSM has a great opportunity to collaborate with other international organizations that share common values or goals.
Moreover, I also perceive the need, at the world level, to keep providing and innovating in tools that help NSOs professionalize their work. As a young adult leader, I see that in many countries we need more support in terms of adult volunteerism, among other issues. As a Youth Advisor, I want to contribute to identify these key issues and get involved in the related discussions and task forces.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? In the first place, I would bring my commitment and passion, which have always characterized me wherever I am and in whatever I do. I would also bring my Scouting experience both, as a beneficiary of the programmed and as an adult volunteer, including my experiences in all levels of Scouting: local, national, regional, and international.
I consider that this could be a great input for the proposal of the Scout Method review and thus, help achieving vision 2023. Programme and adult support are key issues to increase the number of Scouts and service hours globally.
Moreover, I would like to put into service my professional background in International Relations, my experience with NGOs, and my abilities of events organization, multicultural teamwork, diplomacy, research, negotiation, communications and leadership.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? First of all, I would say that we all have different styles according to the situation. However, most of the times I tend to promote the servant and democratic leadership styles. I am a person who is value-oriented, innovative, charismatic, visionary, and pragmatic; who effectively communicates goals, motivates people to participate and get engaged, informed, and debate ideas.
I firmly believe that two brains think better than one, in other words, I think that together we do more! I like listening to others’ ideas and I try to put them altogether in one big idea, promoting critical thinking and democracy in all discussions.
I also tend to have a task-oriented leadership style, while being empathic, flexible, and humane. I do recognise we are not perfect, but we are perfectible and adaptable and I try to be the best version of me every day.

Page 10 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 Advisor to WSC without reservation. Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? I believe that there are ways that Scouts could contribute to the Movement. As a young leader, I am grateful how Scouting shaped my life and lead me to this current path. I really wish to contribute the best that I could, to utilise my capabilities and strengths, to create a better world with my fellow brothers and sisters.
Apart from my local experience in youth empowerment, being the chairman of the Young Adult Members Group and Regional Scout Committee provided me with ample experiences in policy-making and it showed me why youth empowerment is important and crucial. This is the most effective way, where the whole decision making body could gain first hand opinion from youths regarding policies and guidelines.
Youth Advisor provides me with opportunity to voice out the opinion of youths and at the same time what I believe is that youth advisor not only serves as an important connection between different generations, but also bridges between different regions and NSOs. Only with all the youth members united, we could come up with better ideas and policies that best suit our future generations. “To be the best, the best that I can be”.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? To achieve Vision 2023, every one of us must hold hand in hand and achieve this target all together. With lower birth rates and more uniformed groups worldwide, Scouting needs to move forward to match the current generation.
With the advancement of technology, Scouting should one side maintains its uniqueness and another side step up with the pace of the world development. The revised and proposed Scout Method is a good start, while we, as young adults and leaders, have the responsibility and obligation to keep the momentum and push forward what we think is vital to the success of World Scouting.
Another definite opportunity is the power of youth empowerment. Youths are the major target of Scouting, and only with youth empowerment and involvement in decision making, we could take into account youth opinions more comprehensively and compile better programmes and policies that suit the current generation.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? My experience in working in the Region would definitely help World Scouting in achieving Vision 2023. During my term of office, besides working on membership growth, we also develop strategies to help NSO analysis their weaknesses in retaining membership and at the same time exploring new possible countries to join the Scouting Family.
Apart from developing strategy of membership growth, we should unite youth members from different countries, trying to share their best practices and each of us could learn from others’ success. It is always a process to evaluate and amend the plan so as to have better implementation.
Another crucial factor is to review our education methodology to ensure that it meets the next generation. My experience in the educational congress and various workshops provided me with a more in-depth understanding and I am confident that I could contribute more in this aspect.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? Leadership is never about one man, nor one boss. It is all about how the team motivates each other and achieve the common goal. Leader is never on the top, but on the bottom instead, trying to influence, encourage and inspire.
Only when the team works together as one, united as one, we could overcome hurdles and obstacles. I firmly believe that a leader should actively listen and communicate with every team members.
Feedback is also vital and crucial. Each of us should try to learn from everyone else and come up with the best solution. Without feedback, we will never know and how we can deal with the case in a better way and when each of us work hand in hand with unremitting effort, I always believe that we could achieve the best.

Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? I started my Scouting when I was seven years old. Back to those days, we were just boys dreaming about more badges, Scouting jamborees. With years, I’ve learned how huge the Movement is and realised that it always keeps me inspired.
Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Page 15 of 36 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 In 2011, being Scout representative I got involved to National Youth Councils, and started my term as an international representative to European Youth Forum, also known for its Scouting community. I have a feeling my Scouting background gave me a real understanding of life, and all the work I did for the children from my Scout organisation provided me with an understanding of youth answers for adult questions.
I stand on position that a young Scout is an active citizen, involved in creating a better world. After revolution of dignity in Ukraine, together with leaders of different Youth NGOs we established youth-led National Youth Council of Ukraine, which became recognised by State and International community. At the same moment, we started to work on regional level, to ensure and support of youth participation in every region.
Becoming YA to the WSC is an opportunity for me to use my experience, gain new perspectives, to inspire and get inspired.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? As Youth Advisor, I am determined to work on youth empowerment at global level. I see WOSM as a great opportunity to realise the full potential of youth, a tool to fix global issues through Scout non- formal education, developed all over the world. I believe that Scouts should be main implementer of Sustainable Development Goals and we should work on global recognition of our work!
Social impact of Scout Movement is so diverse, from country to country. For example, Ukrainian scouts work with Internally Displaced People to create inclusive society. From small Scout groups to global-scale movement, I believe in the role of Scouting as soft power for world peace, mutual respect and cooperation. Tremendous opportunity is implementation of Resolution 2250 on Youth Peace and Security by Security Council of UN. We have to develop a toolkit for NSOs to provide quality support to actions on every level.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? My participation in WSC and WSYF 2014 provided possibility to work on amendments to Vision 2023 and deeply understand that policy, be active in amending work plan 2017-2020.
During my working experience, as executive director of charitable foundation of First Lady of Ukraine, we worked on systematic reform of educational sphere, to create system of inclusive education for children and youth in Ukraine. I realised that success of any process depends on proper communication between policy developers and practitioners who are working on the ground.
During battles for independent design-making process in youth policy of Ukraine and fighting for basic youth rights, became strongly ensure that policy which does not work, just does not have some who are ready to fight for their implementation. I do believe that “Create a better world”, is achievable. We just need to be united by idea, methods and actions.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? I believe leadership is always about taking action but never based on rushed decisions. I intend to build my leadership style on reason.
It’s important to understand that successful leader should be patient, open minded, free of assumptions and a good teacher. I understand leadership as creating and moderating discussion rather than being a solo speaker. It’s not about gaining power in single pair of hands, but in empowering each and everyone around you.
It’s important to encourage people to take action, speak up and stand up. We are power when we unite, stand together and learn to embrace our differences. My responsibility as a leader is to raise young leaders in every community, to spread the idea that each and everyone can make a difference and global changes start small.

Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Page 17 of 36 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? These are really exciting times for WOSM, having taken the first leap towards Vision 2023 and seen the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) being adopted our world’s ambitious plan for the future. I am convinced of the crucial role us 50 million Scouts play in making these goals reality, in our communities and globally. I’ve seen it first-hand working closely with Scout peace builders in the Amahoro Amani network, and watching my own Scouts grow to become active citizens.
I want to bring my experiences from within and outside of Scouting, with youth policy and governance; programme and training; partnerships and active citizenship; to work with the Committee and Bureau towards Vision 2023, and maximising our contribution to the SDGs.
I want to partner with the Committee and young people in building inclusive and long-term youth participation in WOSM, because I know that when young people are meaningfully engaged in decisions, solutions become more sustainable and effective.
Lastly, I want to bring the SDGs to the governance of WOSM, and to NSOs and local units. I believe that Sustainable Development starts at the grassroots, but depends on support, good governance and a values-based leadership from the highest level just like Scouting.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – the world’s to-do-list – can help us partner with others and communicate our impact. As the world’s largest educational youth movement, Scouting should take a leading role in their implementation. The SDGs can bring us closer to fulfilling Vision 2023 and fulfilling Vision 2023 will bring the world closer to achieving the SDGs.
Long-term youth participation is not only the right thing to do if we want to live our values. It’s also the smart thing to do, for sustainable and effective solutions. Meaningful youth participation demands inclusive decision-making processes, enabling environments and empowering leadership.
The UN Security Council recognises the importance of youth participation in decision-making in their historical resolution 2250, and our World Youth Involvement Policy adopted in Slovenia provides a great framework for it. Us young people are the most important resource and driving force in achieving Vision 2023 and fulfilling the SDGs.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? Over the past triennium, I have been a WOSM global volunteer, playing a leading role in building and maintaining our relations with the UN, while also being Deputy International Commissioner for Sweden, developing our partnership with the Amahoro Amani peace-building network in Africa.
I bring an understanding of WOSM, and how good partnerships can serve Scouting on all levels. Professional and volunteer roles in my NSO, developing programme and training, has given me strong project and process management skills.
I work professionally for the Swedish Government, developing Sweden’s implementation plan for the SDGs and designing methods for youth involvement. Before that, I facilitated global youth participation in the UN’s process on the World Drug Problem.
I have worked with youth participation where it is far from taken for granted, and have expertise in governance and leadership for Sustainable Development – putting the SDGs into practice, in decision- making and in communities.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? My leadership style is deeply rooted in my values and a determination to contribute to a more open and inclusive society. I strive to be a listening and supportive leader, seeing and empowering the people around me.
I believe that progress is only truly sustainable when a group moves forward together Scouting has also
Page 18 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 taught me the importance of constantly improving, being open to feedback and able to adapt your leadership to group and situation.
I’ve had to bring different qualities to play when I’ve worked as an emergency medic at the scene of an accident, to when I’ve led processes for the UN, or comforted a homesick Scout at their first summer camp. While sometimes having to be effective and decisive, other times culturally attentive, occasionally courageous, and usually do more listening than talking I’ve always been guided by my values and a foundation of confidence, thanks to Scouting.

NSO’s Rationale for Nomination: Tiago has been actively contributing to the work in our NSO for quite some time and has done a good job. His essential contribution has given him the sort of experience that is crucial to the work he would be developing at the world level.

He is attentive to details, he is a good listener, but above all, he is a doer. The World Scout Committee will truly benefit from his contributions as Scouts of Brazil currently does.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? I am motivated to stand for this election to learn more about how the World Level can reach each associated NSO and most important the base, our Scout groups and troops.
As the Deputy Communicator of the Interamerican Youth Network, I learned a lot about how to reach the youth and identify which are their concerns and some challenge points we were facing to bring these young people concerns to the regional office and committee meetings, plans and actions.
As a Youth Advisor, I want to bring this knowledge to the world level, improving the communication between the World Level and NSOs/NSAs, NSOs to NSOs and most important, NSOs to their youth members.
Page 20 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 I believe communication is the key to us achieve the Vision 2023, and I want to use all my knowledge and efforts to together with the World Scout Committee reach our goal to be the world leading education movement, enabling 100 million young people to be active citizens creating positive change in their communities based on shared values.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? Communication, is both the most important issue and opportunity for World Scouting.
We face the challenge of making our documents and information reach the base, the scout groups and troops, due to difficulties to translate or adapt this documents to the reality of our NSOs or NSAs.
However, as a movement of young people by young people, we have the most connected and communicative people in the world, the youth! Open doors to ensure the youth involvement and furthermore the youth engagement in our Movement is the key to ensure our quick adaptation to the changing world and delivery our message to the people.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? For more than 100 years, Scouting has been innovating in education, adapting the way we deliver the scout method and values to the needs of each generation throughout our history.
The fundamental skills we are going to need is resilience, to quickly adapt to the needs of the youth; and innovation, to be innovative and make our method even more attractive not only for the youth, but for the communities.
Other important skill will be communication. The new ways of communication made the youth and also the “older” people wanting to know what is happening in our congresses, conferences and forums in the moment they are happening, and which output they can bring to their Scout group and troop in the weekend.
At the Interamerican Youth Network, I developed this set of skills, making me feel confident to help our Movement in these points.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? As a leader, I like to identify abilities and skills of the people that work with me and delegate task according to their abilities, asking if they feel comfortable with this task or if they would like to try something different.
I also follow the work, asking how is the progress, to avoid hurrying with some parts of the project. If necessary, I identify the needs of that person or team to achieve the goal, what is blocking our way to the success, and take quick decision to solve it.
And I like to hear everyone in the team, even the smallest contribution can make a whole new perception of the project or the problem, making it easier to reach the success or solve the problem. I feel I’m opened to be criticised, to revaluate what I think and whenever necessary change my point of view to make things better.

He has represented our association in many areas whereby he has respectfully and with honour made the programmes meaningful, I recommend Edgar as our trusted and honourable representative.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? Scouting has basically made me who I am today, and I, among many other people who know me are proud of what I have become. All I have done is based on my commitment and training in the Scouting Programme. Learning the spirit of our founder and the guidance given through our leaders, I have gained a lot of skills which I am ready and free to share.
That feeling of self-satisfaction and self-realisation at this young age is what for all youths in the world. To be young, to have the power, to have strength, to have the will to have determination. These are the most productive members of our society and they need to be guided well, to have mentor and sometimes to have someone to look up to.
To be inspirational, to be a reason for them to keep forging forward and to have the platform to help forge policies that will directly mould the youth for the better therefore making the world a better place is something that is very dear to my heart. This is why I am running.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? Scouting being a worldwide movement has a great opportunity to nurturer and transfer the skills into competencies for the service of humanity. This is the golden age of Scouting considering the challenges of violent extremism and intolerance, political violence; violation of human person through trafficking and
Page 22 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 sexual terrorism; corruption; drug menace; environmental degradation and other related maladies.
In my view the challenge for Scouting towards responding to these issues for the good of all is that there is little regard and commitment in involving the youth to set programmes that speak to their times and engage them in finding ways to mobilise towards their achievement.
Scouts also need to be given a new confidence that goes beyond the name and camps to know that they have the ability to support and stand out in transformation of our world.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? In a very humble way, I bring to the table 15 years of vast Scouting experience as a youth, a willingness to work above and beyond for the success of the Movement, a highly disciplined, self-driven and motivated team player and leader and finally, a young man with unwavering spirit for good, a propensity to serve humanity in its rudimentary way and a focus, tenacious approach in the offering long lasting solutions to some of the worlds recurrent problems and in that achieving the vision 2023.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? A charismatic, consultative, direct and decisive leader who uses his considerable skills to empower people with information that can assist them make a better tomorrow for this and the coming generation not to mention, a team player in achieving organisational goals through effective planning and its implementation of creative ideas in line with organisational policies tandem with volatile emerging issues.

Languages spoken: German (native speaker), English (fluent) and French (good)
NSO’s Rationale for Nomination: Martin joined the International Team when he was fifteen years old and quickly developed the skill sets necessary to represent the interests of our Scouts towards WOSM and external stakeholders. Over the last eight years he has been a highly valued team member, easily approachable and is always willing to offer a helping hand be it to organise a workshop for our local or national level, or to help out with setting up tents for the Beavers’ camping weekend.
As an international team member, Martin attended two European Scout Conferences, the World Scout Youth Forum and World Scout Conference in 2014. While attending these events, Martin actively worked with Vision 2023, the Messengers of Peace Programme and the World Scout Youth Involvement Policy. This gave Martin a deep knowledge of the internal working structures of WOSM as well as equipping him with the skills necessary to make a meaningful contribution in achieving Vision 2023.
Page 24 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 We strongly believe that Martin’s experience of representing young people and experience of advocating for a youth perspective at national and European level equips him with the necessary skills to be a Youth Advisor and to advocate for young people’s views at the World Scout Committee.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? I attended the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden in 2011. This was the first time I realised the cultural richness and diversity of our Movement, and immediately fell in love with it. I also realised that millions of young people with the same shared values, the values of Scouting, can make a difference in this world. Young people have the ability to leave this world a better place then they found it.
In 2011 I, additionally, became a local Beaver leader. At the Jamboree, I realised that in many countries it is not young people but adults that are leaders. In recent years, I got to experience the positive change cooperation between equal partners, between adults and youth, can have. The key word here is equal.
Young people at all level in our organisation need to be taken seriously and need to be given the opportunity to participate in decision-making structures. I strongly believe that WOSM should be a youth lead movement with adult support. This is why I am running for Youth Advisor. I am running because I believe that my experiences equip me for representing and advocating the voice of young people in the World Scout Committee.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? World Scouting has 40 million engaged young people with the skill sets to make this world a better place, but we need to ensure that we give them every opportunity to do so. An internal opportunity is to ensure that young people, like you and I, get to be prepared and supported, and get to attend the World Scout Conference as delegates to actively shape the future path of our Movement. External opportunities are the SDGs and the Youth Peace and Security processes that are going on at the United Nations.
Like any big organisation WOSM also faces challenges. One of these challenges is communications. Communications between us, as engaged young people, and the elected Youth Advisors to ensure that the voice of all youth is heard at the World Scout Committee Meeting. With your help, we can bridge this divide, and engage more young people in decision-making processes.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? The most important skill I have is the ability to listen and to communicate. The ability to listen to the ideas and concerns of young people to represent them and advocate for their inclusion in WOSM decision-making processes. I have a profound knowledge of external relations and would like to ensure that WOSM can engage with 100 million young people by 2023.
Additionally, considering my background in Economics and my experience with strategic planning, I am confident that I can support WOSM’s work on governance for the benefit of all National Scout Organizations. Last year, I also had the opportunity to organise and facilitate with the DE-Agora Team an educational event for Rovers by Rovers strengthening my knowledge of educational methods.
Overall, I am a motivated young person with the ability to strategically solve problems together with the other young people and to bring positive change to our Movement.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? When I was a young Scout, my patrol was supposed to go on a night hike. Unfortunately, our patrol leader was ill and couldn’t participate. Our leaders weren’t sure if they should send us back to bed or send us on the hike regardless. This is when I picked up the torch and started walking. Years later I realised that this was probably the first time I took on a leadership role. Many would follow.
I learned that leadership is a lot more than just picking up a torch and start walking. Leadership means to inspire and to give confidence, it means to delegate jobs and support team members in achieving their personal aims, it means self-reflection and critical thinking, it means – especially with volunteers – to take time constraints into account, but most of all within Scouting it means friendship and having a good time while doing something meaningful.
Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Page 25 of 36 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 Mr Mohammad ODETTALLAH (Jordan)
Nominated by: Jordanian Association for Boy Scouts and Girl Guides
Age: 22
Educational background and qualifications: Bachelor in Pharmacy
Professional activities: Pharmacist
Scouting experience: Many experiences in national forums and events local leader of Venture Scouts; Jordanian representatives in Regional Youth Forum in Oman 2016
Languages spoken: Arabic (native speaker) and English (fluent)
NSO’s Rationale for Nomination: Mohamed joined the Scouting Movement in 2002 and since that, he underwent all stagers and experiences until he became a youth man with full of vitality and creativity, and still involved in Scouting activities so far.
He participated at all levels local, regional and global Scouting activities, recently he represented Jordan in the regional youth forum held in Oman in 2016.
Mohammed can work with his young colleagues as he respects different teamwork values and commits with his roles in the team.
Mohammed is an example of ambitious and serious leader. He has gained considerable experience through the ling time he joined the Scout Movement, he’s well-trained Rover who appreciates outdoor and natural life, he also has various skills and great ability to lead and manage activities and events.
So Jordanian association for Boy Scouts and Girl Guides nominates Mohammad Odetallah to be one of the Youth Advisors to the World Scout Committee term (2017-2020) as we believe in his ability to work with his colleagues to achieve better Scouting for youth and young around the world.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? I keep telling myself after about 15 years, why I'm still a Scout? Why I spend my time and sometimes money in Scouting Movement, is it worth? But answer comes up quickly, it's some kind of loyalty that arises from what this Movement has given us for what this Movement taught us.
As a Scout has spent 15 years in Scouting, I believe that it's the time to do a favour for the Movement which I owe it a lot, it's definitely insignificant in comparison with what it gave me, but as my attempt to be Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee I'm trying to do my best and we would take the responsibility of the world and represent the Scouting youth.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? Many issues can be considered when we talk about World Scouting, as communication between different sections and regions still problematic despite great investment of social media and technology. Programmes and methods are needed to be updated with accelerated development of technology, which may require cooperation between all sectors and regions.
But opportunities that can be utilised are widely distributed as well, since none of communication problems are impossible to be solved, we should have better strategies to share experiences and to keep in touch with any creative tools that one region can help others with.
Page 26 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? Since our 2023 vision is mainly talking about active citizenship, we have to be very aware about definition of active citizenship. One of my interests is to read and explore how to be an active citizen and what the requirements that are needed to be available and what the social researchers say about that.
I can't claim that I would lead 100 million people directly to create positive changes in their surroundings, but at least I claim I could help to establish strategies that can do that as I'm well-trained in the strategic planning as well.
Besides that, I have practical experiences in developing tools that can aid people to be active citizens in school or either in public, and these experiences are mainly obtained from social and public work that we have done in Scouting and school union events.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? People usually overestimate themselves, so I believe it's not applicable to describe my leadership style but I will try to be accurate.
Leadership depends on two kinds of skills, teamwork and communication skills and personality skills I used to communicate with my colleagues in the team separately in order to realise how they think and from what they complain, then we can achieve perfect teamwork by combine their individual skills. On the other hand, I improved my personality skills by involving in Scouting and public school activities especially those which are related with demands that we can help with. But all these actions would never leave me as proud leader but rather leader who is totally careful how to pay attention to my other colleagues in the team.

She has actively participated in multiple Scouting events such as camps, workshops and training courses in local, regional and national levels. In her role of National Youth Advisor, Amal has also represented our NSO in different forums organised by the government and other NGOs and institutions.
She has also participated in the 1st Young Voices Forum and the 2nd Arab Forum for Young Journalists. She has also spent considerable time involved in the community especially working with girls and youth. This has included work about volunteerism, civic engagement and leadership.
We strongly believe that Amal will greatly contribute with her Scouting experience to the World Scout Committee as Youth Advisor.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? As a young ambitious woman and dynamic motivated youth within the Scout Movement, I always aim at moving to the next level and raise the bar higher. Thus, I guess that being a Youth Advisor is the best opportunity for me to implement my leadership skills and my spirit of challenge into the closest movement to my heart. This will not only be another great contribution to Scouting but also the greatest contribution to broaden my knowledge and expertise.
As a Youth Advisor, I will be a spokesperson of youth, women and the Arab region. My culture awareness and my flexible and sociable spirit will allow me be deeply involved and productive within the team. Due to my previous experiences, I will show a high commitment and contribute on building an integrated output which will move the World Scout Committee one step closer to achieving the 2023 vision.
Besides, I will transpose the influential spirit and sensitivity to organisational needs perceived within my work as a National Youth Advisor to the global level. I am genuinely excited about this experience as it promotes youth power and I am ready to devote myself in order to reinforce the Scouting Movement.
Page 28 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? The fact that the Scout Movement gathers a massive number of members from different generations and backgrounds, is perceived as a great opportunity to work along with the UN SDGs, considered as the most important goals aiming at making our world a better one.
The diversity and propagation of our Movement is an opportunity to treat these worldwide issues, such as climate change, violence and extremism, peace-building and reconciliation, through concrete, practical and long-term solutions. Yet, we need to better mobilise members and tend to focus more on the majority of SDGs.
Our Scouting community needs also to feel more concerned by the Strategic Priorities and should contribute more on making these objectives happening.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? With my decent experience on volunteering, international teamwork, leading, planning, organising and controlling and my deep engagement into making a positive impact within my community, I will make sure to contribute on finding and implementing sustainable methods in order to achieve the Strategic Priorities and consequently, our Vision 2023.
In addition to that, I will bring my innovation, critical thoughts and eagerness to work and my emotional intelligence to give our work a new better aspect. Let me also highlight, that as a dynamic youth I will promote peer education, and youth engagement and focus on what my fellow youth may need and claim. To sum up with, knowing that every successful plan needs a clear and efficient vision, I will do my best to execute those plans in the near future.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? My previous experiences within many leadership positions and my deep commitment to the Scout Movement have shaped a mixture of flexible and sociable but strict and detail-focused person when it needs. In fact, I am the kind of persons that impose attention and respect as I know how to interact with surrounding persons depending on their personalities.
Actually, I am more likely to take the lead than to be a follower, yet I make sure to be a team energiser and a productive person even as a team member. I would also say that I am a diplomatic person. Added to that, I'm an active listener, a good public speaker and a very hardworking person especially when I tend to be highly motivated and concerned by the issue.
Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Page 29 of 36 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 Ms Narumi SAKATA (Japan)
Nominated by: Scout Association of Japan
Age: 20
Educational background and qualifications: Aug 2015: Graduated, Senri High School, Osaka Present: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Chiba University
Professional activities: Student Reporter, CHIBA NIPPO (local newspaper in a prefecture)
Scouting Experience:
• National level: August 2012: 11th Korea-Japan Scout Youth Forum, Korea; August 2012: 13th Korea National Jamboree, Korea; January 2013: Japan-Korea Scout Forum in 2013, Hiroshima, Japan; August 2013: 30th APR Scout Jamboree and 16th Nippon Jamboree Yamaguchi, Japan; August 2016: 4th International Catholic Scout Camporee, Shizuoka, Japan
Languages spoken: English (fluent), Finnish (fluent), French (basic), Spanish (basic) and Korean (basic)
NSO’s Rationale for Nomination: Narumi Sakata is a very talented Rover Scout, who is very actively participating in the international activities, both in Scouting and outside of Scouting, in North East Asia, Europe and USA. She is also very active in local Scouting activities and playing as a role model in her local council.
Although Narumi has not held any national or regional role in Scouting, we can assure she will quickly learn her role as the Youth Advisor and reflect voices from around the globe, utilising her cultural experiences.
Through our selection and interviewing process, we discovered that she has already a vision to reflect in World Scouting, considering Scouting worldwide. In addition, she is in Education major in her university studies, and we count this background will also enhance her candidacy to the Youth Advisor position.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? Since I spent a year as an exchange student in Finland, strongly I have been thinking that EDUCATION is the crucial element for creating a better world. Then I noticed that SCOUTING, which grew me up, must be the best methods to make world education better.
In the 21st century, our children and we will face issues we have never known and I believe that “being a Scout” will help us a lot in this uncertain century. So now I want to know what Scout Movement really is. How effective is it on education actually? How can we make this Movement sustainable for further future? And I would like to learn more and serve more to develop it further.
Now I have an opportunity to be a Youth Advisor, and what I can do for is giving a perspective of an ordinary girl to the world level. If I can say and change something, it is a proof that Scouting is actually the movement of young people, and I will proof it for rest of the young people in the Movement. I JOIN, DO and SEE what can a little girl do for improving educational movement on world level.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? I think the most important issue is “Lack of Social Impact”. Scout Movement is the biggest youth movement in the world. However, I feel that still a lot of people don’t know what we are doing and what our Movement’s purpose. I think that is because sometimes our service is only for a small extent.
We need to widen our range of services and spread our idea through it. To be known is important to keep our Movement long. Also in this case I am from Japan, which has problem of reducing member of Scouts, I can give opinions from that point of view.
Page 30 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? In Japan, I was a chairperson of youth group and we did voluntary projects in our area. It was a small change but it will be a big positive change in our communities if we keep doing it. I have experiences in being a Scout in Japan and Finland. In Finland, I went to Snow Cave Camping in the middle of Arctic Circle for five days and it was an extreme experience in the nature. I think these are the roots of scouting values which we all share!
Academically, I just began to learn education in university, and this means that I can bring the latest ideas from the academic world into the Scouting world. It will help achieving the vision that Scouting will be the world’s leading educational youth movement. I can use my leadership skills and primitive Scout experiences for helping World Scout achieving Vision 2023.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? I am the dedicated person who can work hard especially in a bursting momentum. I am the honest and I can speak out bravely whenever I need to say. I am the handy and skillful person one who does little tasks, which nobody wants to do.
I am the organiser who reserves a room when everyone wants having fun. I have eagle eyes to see the forest but also don’t miss the trees for the forest. I am the flexible one who can change own opinion when there is a better alternative. I am not a “leader of leader” but I have important chemistry of leadership.

NSO’s Rationale for Nomination: Rafael is an outstanding young Scout, with a singular ability to establish relationships and building a network. He can effectively foster a suitable environment for discussion and idea contribution from people with different background and cultural diversity.
Rafael’s appointment would enable the WSC to have an even better understanding of how Scouting is impacting young people in local communities (Scouts/non-Scouts), and on which strategies should be launched by the WSC and NSOs to deepen the sense of commitment of our leaders and Scouts in being a true contribution to their local communities.His experience as a Scout, enriched by his responsibilities as a young leader in managing world projects at the national level, such as SWA, has
Page 32 of 36 Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 enabled him to broaden his horizons on the way Scouting affects the lives of our young people and their communities.
Rafael’s contribution in several international projects produced benefits: being a positive contribution to the projects; confirming his potential in the best way Scouts do it–assigning him more work; allowing our NSO and our scouts to get one notch up from the sharing Rafael brings back.
We are honoured to propose Rafael and we are eager to support him in this endeavour.
Candidate’s Statement of Motivation:
1. What is your personal motivation to stand for election as Youth Advisor to the World Scout Committee? My motivation is to help implement the Better World Framework in all countries, involving young people (Rovers or young leaders), and creating a network that promotes sharing, mutual growth and a spirit of brotherhood based on the universal values of Scouting. Such a framework, with recognition, with added value for the future and with the capacity to change the world, should be more explored, applicable and flexible to all Scouts.
There are still countries that are unaware of the existence of this framework, either because it is very difficult to interpret, or because the method seems to be complicated, or even because they cannot simply adapt it to the present reality.
The main objectives of that network are to implement the framework, comprising three programmes and using three badges from a global context to a national/local context. I’m sure that these badges can and should be more recognised and more valued than are already are, as this is a starting point for a broader range of opportunities. In Portugal, we have a specific way of working/dealing with our young Scouts; the way we work the educational programme can certainly and positively influence the work to be developed.
2. What do you see as the most important issues and opportunities facing World Scouting? There must be a greater equality of opportunity among Scouts, it is important that there is a balance. We talk about Scouts from less developed countries who do not have the same opportunity to participate in regional/world level activities, I think it should there should be a bigger mutual aid and support between the NSOs. This problem must be managed through the different WOSM regions.
"The real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people" and bearing in mind the Scout Movement in every country, I believe that it is in this ideology that we are a motor of growth in the local communities, thus having a global impact. The WOSM must be able to make a difference in communities, with a supportive and conciliator role, enhancing the fidelity of the value of the Scout Promise even after no longer being in the Movement.
3. What experience and skill sets would you bring to help World Scouting achieving Vision 2023? One of the most important things to achieve Vision 2023 is the "starting point": The capacity, impact and range of opportunities that the "better world framework" offers to our Scouts, enabling them to have significant impact, not just in the sustainable development goals, but also their lives in the future. I’m aware that my knowledge of different realities, achieved only by being involved in many international activities, is a core point in succeeding in my task.
I’m willing to be the mover for change, thereby I’m considering creating a team of young people, Scouts/Girl Guides and non-Scouts, in order to enrich the work that I intend to develop, taking a more cooperative and understanding view of our young people today. I will be able to do this, mainly I know that I’m good establishing contacts and creating good working relationships, even when people are too different from me.
4. How would you describe your leadership style? My leadership starts in my Scout local group to the Cub Scouts until Rover Scouts to be responsible young adults. My gaiety persistence and commitment in the mission that has to be done, has already fulfilled me I can only learn with the examples of leaders that I had throughout my Scout life.
Document 5 – Youth Advisors Elections Page 33 of 36 13th World Scout Youth Forum - Azerbaijan 2017 Not only in Scouting but also in my job, or in my chores, I’ve always started projects of a social nature. At the moment, I'm working as a teacher with epilepsy students, coordinating, programming and running the sport classes. Non-formal education and different backgrounds have made me acquire some skills that are serving served me throughout my life.
In every team, I’m able to create a good working environment, engaging with others and with a clear notion of responsibility and commitment. I’m good with people, keeping them motivated, listening and giving us space to learn and grow.
