2ND WORLD SCOUT EDUCATION CONGRESS- SWITZERLAND - 11-15 MAY, 2017The 2nd World Scout Education Congress (WSEC)

took place at Kandersteg International Scout Centre,

Switzerland, from 11-15 May 2017.Over 260 participants, from over 100 National Scout

Organizations, Kandersteg International Scout Centre

staff team, delivery team, planning team...every one

made this great success. Pakistan Boy Scouts

Associaiton was represented by the following

contingent: - Mr. Sabir Hussain - Mr. Rizwan Jaffer -

Mr. Saad Waqas This second edition of the event

focused on the core business of Scouting. It looked at

what needs to happen in the areas of Youth

Programme and Adult Resources, in order to prepare

for the changing world in which we live. The very first

speaker was Ahmad Alhendawi, the Secretary

General of WOSM since March 2017. He gave many

valuable insights about trends, and compared humanity with ice-cream, in economic

terms. “Every year, the world is spending around 60

billion US-dollars on ice-cream. At the same time, we

have 225 million youth who are NEET, meaning Not in

Education, Employment, or Training. To provide those

kids with 12 years of education would cost 40 billion

US-dollars”, Mr. Alhendawi said. He questioned why

we can't afford to spend more on humanitarian

systems when it's three times less on what we spend

on ice-cream. Another purpose for the congress was

to help shape the focus for educational methods

around the world from 2017 onwards. The first day

was focused on the future. It 'fast forwarded'

participants to the future, to 2023, where they could

consider some of the forecast changes in society,

demography, technology, and other trends, as well as

what this means for young people and education.
