Governance was a key focus throughout the Conference. Some of the issues identified were:

Policy and strategy for World Scouting needs to be developed at world level but delivery should be local;

A deeper debate on membership criteria;

The financial implications of good governance must be addressed;

The need for improvement in the Organization's communications、having regard to differing situations around the world; 

The need to develop more partnerships and to find ways of making sustainable developments in our governance. 

On the Strategy for Scouting、progress on each of the seven priorities was reported with many countries presenting examples of success and best practices. NSOs had the opportunity to participate in a choice of over 30 workshops on topics such as membership growth、youth programme、support to volunteers and developing volunteering in Scouting、and Scouting's profile、Some of the main issues identified to work towards in the coming triennium are: involving young people、supporting adults、better communications and improving the image of Scouting.

Issues relating to membership growth were addressed such as the need to offer better Scouting to more young people. A new membership development toolkit was presented to the Conference in order to encourage NSOs to think about the topic and learn how they can get new members and retain existing ones through the example of NSO best practices. A dynamic workshop allowed NSOs to interactively explore the toolkit and take a copy was provided to each NSO to home with them.
