National Youth Forum 2024

January 12, 2024

73 youth participants from seven provinces enthusiastically engaged in the National Youth Forum organized by Nepal Scouts, held at Kakani International Scout Centre (KISC) from January 7 to 11, 2024. The initiation of this National Youth Forum was a collaborative effort between Nepal Scouts and KFUM.

Throughout the five-day event, the youth actively participated in democratic processes to elect members of the National Youth Council and their Chairperson. We firmly believe that this Youth Forum provided our young participants with the opportunity to connect, learn, and actively participate in decision-making processes that will influence the future direction of the Nepal Scouts.

The Youth Forum placed a primary emphasis on fostering intergenerational dialogue, engaging participants in discussions on leadership and mentorship, the intersection of technology and scouting, embracing diversity and inclusion, and community involvement. Additionally, there were input sessions by the Facilitator from Nepal Scouts Youth Forum Planning Team and Danish Planning Team that covered Provincial Goal setting for the Provincial Youth Council, Diversity and Inclusion in Scouting, Facilitation skills, and Conflict management.

In the midst of the Youth Forum, a high-level panel discussion occurred, marked by the active involvement of members of the Parliament of the Nepal Government. Notably, Hon. Dr. Tosihma Karki, Hon. Madhav Sapkota, and Hon. Sunita Baral engaged in interactions with the participants.

During this Youth Forum, the election of the National Youth Council took place, and the following members were elected by the participants:
