Group 2: Enhanced capabilities with technology

# data[].attributes.body
Helps to facilitate courses for various audiences, technology allows for more hybrid capabilities with courses. No need to commit so much to physical event when some learning can be done asynchronously online.

Free 3D modelling applications such as Sketchup and TinkerCad.

Jamboree stamp collections can be done online, no longer need to be a physical card, helps document their processes.

Improves documentation for Scout badge schemes.

Alternative methods of instruction, no longer need to be the conventional one leader to multiple Scouts. An example would be online maps and exploration tools to help Scouts to better learn map reading because it provides an alternative point of reference for teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Before: Scout need to learn how to survive in nature by practical

Now: Firstly learn from the digital world and then implement in nature

Hybrid mode of course: save time and decrease air pollution from travelling

# data[].attributes.body
Decrease the travelling time and provide more chances to meet : meet online and easier to meet with scout from different NSOs, can meet regularly every year (Jamboree has high cost! Limited the participants!)

Group 2: Improve existing digital solutions

# data[].attributes.body
Membership database for some NSOs is currently tagged to personal email accounts or phone number for each registered Scout member. These are details that potentially change over time and a better way to track membership with an account linked system is to create a unique user ID. For example, Singapore gives each Scout a unique username following this convention:

[Last 4 Digits of National ID][DD/MM Birthday][First 3 Letters of Full Name]

Registration for activities still make use of physical forms. #unsustainable #treesaredying

Records of certificates still dependent on having the physical certificate.

# data[].attributes.body
Korea :) website for registration, see the whole progress, manage the record sustainably, easier for finding record

Hong Kong :( Traditional!! Print out the registration form and send by post. Hardcopy is easy to get lost

# data[].attributes.body
More efficient knowledge management - easier to catalogue, access and query subject matter (+ve)

More and Diverse values could be conducted in scouting background to young scouts (+ve)

If we can adapt ‘Hybrid style’ learning in the training, we can use time more effectively and efficiently (+ve)

Group 1: More effective on Administration Work 

# data[].attributes.body
Connecting Scouts by messaging softwares (ie. Kakao Talk, WhatsApp etc)

Doing the administrative work of different events (ie. Jamboree) through working softwares like Slacks / Google Docs / Teams

Video calls for meeting like Zoom can connect scouts everywhere

# data[].attributes.body
Allows more prompt and timely decisions to be made with real-time data in data-driven decision-making (+ve)

Over-reliance on technology takes away accountability and responsibility of decision-makers in Scouting (may have implications on safety and wellbeing of Scouts)

Older leaders may have trouble adapting to new technology (-ve)

May be helpful to the Personnel management (+ve), but also accompanies personal(private) information security issue (-ve)

Enhancing efficiency and productivity in back-office operations (+ve)

# data[].attributes.body
Every platform, put Scouts. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn.

Use AI to ease the process of content creation, previously content creation was done by specialist (eg: those trained in social media etc), now anyone can create content while being assisted by AI.

Not just about promoting Scouting to your own country but showcasing it to Scouts from other countries as well. The problem is the attention economy, how do you get people to watch your content? How do you gain traction?

Using social media to reach into your community.

# data[].attributes.body
Half relevant: scout movement usually needs hands-on implement.

# data[].attributes.body
Difficulties of using tech. scouts might not know how to use the new technologies

high costs. (applying and developing those AI or digital tools that specific for scouting )

Plagiarism problem (should use AI responsibly and avoid its abuse)

# data[].attributes.body
Using the announcement tools of Softwares or Social media to send out the updates of our scouting activities

There were some designing tools like canvas would help us to design some posters, leaflets, or even booklets

Digital Copyright protection

# data[].attributes.body
Implementing existing tools for educational purposes into Scouting such as LMS etc

Hard skills is a bit difficult to do online especially with one of the facets of the Scout Method being nature, how do you really experience nature online? #touchgrass

We need to find a good balance between embracing technology while still maintaining the outdoor philosophies of Scouting.

Group 2: Practicality of Tech in Tactile Activities

# data[].attributes.body
Camping, outdoor cooking, pioneering etc is not the same online.

Many tools are Internet reliant, cannot rely on a stable connection all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
- easier to reach a wider audience (+ve)

- Somehow we can show(make) the case: showing people that digital tech can be actually applied to youth movement programs (+ve)

- digital platforms and social media for outreach and engagement,like website,app (+ve)

- If there’s insufficient guidelines, people can share wrong information easily and can be spreaded too quickly to revise it (-ve)

- Heavy reliance on social media may only serve to attract youth who have no real purpose to commit to Scouting programmes, but merely have a fear of missing out (FOMO) - encourages wrong attitudes and mindset towards our non-formal education

# data[].attributes.body
- Providing innovative and engaging learning experiences

- loss of Learning by Doing pedagogy - over-reliance on technology to facilitate learning may discourage hands-on, trial-and-error learning processes

# data[].attributes.body
old thought,hard to have more opportunities to use tech in scouting

time, labor, and monetary cost of setting up and migrating to digital environment (Software, Hardware, Training and Curriculum)

Have too much different ideas/visions, need a long time to discuss (i.e.administrative overhead)

# data[].attributes.body
While physical activities should preferably be physical, technology can be a back up plan. Eg: hike gets cancelled because of rainy weather, could we do a google maps hike instead?

Asynchronous courses would increase accessibility to more Scouts eg: Scouts who go overseas for a long period of time but still want to remain rooted in their home NSO

# data[].attributes.body
More Informative for scouting

Higher efficient

Easy to reach

Can educate more people

# data[].attributes.body
Digital Advertisement (before people know scout activities through posters and booklets(tradition promotion way). Now they could promote it through online platforms such as IG and Facebook, it could reach a leather audience —> more people know about scouts, more people join scout’s activities)

Make trainings about using technologies and tools like short courses or online introduction videos for the older generations in scouts

# data[].attributes.body
- AI enhances idea generation.

- Virtual reality aids immersive training experiences.

- Social media boosts information dissemination.

Nature things: camping, No internet in campsite. Internet gap, some countries do not have good internet and support electronic devices, it is unfair for that countries. It is important to shorten the gap.

It is difficult to combine scout and tech together while scout do not lose our own characteristics.
