The leaders finally agreed and adopted this statement “By 2020, Scouting in the Asia Pacific Region is recognized as the preferred and leading educational youth movement offering relevant programme in all segments of society.”
To achieve the Vision, they decided five strategic priorities for 2012-2015:
Young People
Adults
Management
Finance
Scouting Profile
Building on the Vision 2020 statement, the Regional Scout Committee made a key decision on April 2011 that membership growth is the primary goal of the strategic plan for 2012-2015 and that sub-committees will have to be actively involved in identifying key strategies for the next triennial.
With the new approach to strategic planning introduced for the first time in this triennial, it may not be perfect as this stage, but it surely is a good move in the right direction.
