Better World Framework was conceptualised  to integrate established World programmes and promote the engagement of young people in community development. Soon after it was endorsed by the World Scout Committee and shared with National Scout Organizations (NSOs), it became a common approach to support young people and succeeded in boosting actions in local communities.

In line with the Scout Movement’s commitment to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Better World Framework is now enabling NSOs to align their community actions with the SDGs.
