Today was the first official start day of the Conference held at International Conference Centre (ICC) on Jeju Island. Here's a photo from inside looking out onto the water. It was a little foggy in the morning.
National Scout Organizations (NSOs) from around the world have sent delegates and observers to take part in shaping the direction of the Scouting movement for the next three years and beyond. There were over 1200 participants. Look how big the room is!
Canada has sent Glenn Armstrong, John Neysmith, Iain Tait, and Kevin Li are delegates. Chip and Centenary Bear are some of the many observers from Canada.
Highlights of the day included:
The welcoming of seven new National Scout Organizations into the family of World Scouting )

Introduction of the candidates from around the world running for a position on the World Scout Committee. The World Scout Committee is the highest decision making body within WOSM and members are selected every three years at conferences just like this one.
Here’s a photo of John Neysmith from Canada who is vying for a position on the World Scout Committee.
Good luck John!
