The 6th World Youth Forum will take place in Norway prior to the 34th
World Scout Conference.

The World Youth Foum will for the first time be linked to the World Scout
Conference.

The World Conference wants to strengthen youth involvement in the
decision-making process of our Organization. In Bangkok in 1993 the World
Conference adopted a policy on involvement of young members in
decision-making, emphasizing that Scouting in not only a Movement FOR
young people but also a Movement OF young people (Conference Resolution
No. 2/93).

ORGANIZATION
The 6th World Youth Forum will be hosted by the Norwegian Guide and Scout
Association. (Norges Speiderforbund - NSF).

THEME AND PROGRAMME
The theme will be the same as for the World Conference - "LOOKING WIDER"
a quotation of Lord Baden Powell and an invitation to Scouting to become
more open to the world and the world to become more open to Scouting.

This theme will offer young people an opportunity to express their own
views on a range of agenda subjects. There will also be time to discuss
topics proposed by the participants themselves.

Various working methods will be used to share ideas among the
participants, to develop discussion on the different topics and to reach
recomendations to addess to the World Conference.

Our Norwegian hosts will also organize activities, close to nature and in
a "Nordic spirit", to discover and enjoy their country and their Scouting.

DATE
Tuesday 2nd to Friday 5th July 1995; with arrival in Moss in the
afternoon of 2nd July before 4 p.m. and leaving Moss on the morning of
6th July.

LOCATION
The 6th Youth Forum will be held in Moss, a town situated approximately
60 km south of Oslo in exceptionally wonderful suroundings of fjords,
lakes and forest. It will offer many possibilities for activities.

The Forum itself will be held in the Town Hall, which offers very good
working facilities.

Acommodation will be at a boarding school, in single or double rooms. The
school is situated on a beautiful island, 10 minutes drive from the Town
Hall.

Transportation between Oslo airport or Moss train station and the Forum
location, and between the Town Hall and the school will be organized by
