Supporting Volunteers: Financial aid extends to young adult volunteers, who act as the essential backbone guiding the USA Contingent.
Securing Long-Term Impact: This fund stays open long-term, building a sustainable legacy to support future World Scout Jamborees, Moots, and other international WOSM events.
