ISVG
ISVG was formed at the beginning of 2020 when adult scout leaders and guides from different countries and organizations who stayed at home during the COVID-19 pandemic communicated with each other on social media.
The conversations between trained Scout Leaders from 7 countries led to the formation of ISVG; Dr. Dikpal Keshari Baidya from Canada, Dr. Vinutthaput Popet from Thailand, Mr. Raul Hernandez from the USA, Ms. Vida Kotarac from Serbia, Mr. Mounir Chaoui from Tunisia, Mr. Ashraf Osman Nsr from Egypt, and Mr. Shige Takahashi from Japan.
They shared their scouting knowledge and experiences with each other which later turned into regular online conferences, training on subjects of interest to scouting, and in a short time, with the participation of many different countries, the movement reached thousands of Scouters.
Upon the request of the participants, it was institutionalized as an international scoutmaster organization based in Toronto, Canada in January 2021.
Vision:
Challenging and promoting scout volunteers to become agents of change in their local communities, nationally and internationally based on the Scout Oath and Laws and UN agendas.
Purpose:
ISVG’s purpose aligns with the Scouting principles to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual development of young people and leaders so that they may take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens, and as members of their local, national, and international communities. ISVG is posed to provide online training that will enable Scouter Leaders and Youth mentors all over the world to attend an International Open University to be called “ISVG Open University”.
