The World Scout Bureau is administered by the secretary general, who is supported by a small staff of technical resource personnel. The Bureau helps associations improve and broaden their [[Scouting]] by training professionals and volunteers, establishing sound financial policies and money-raising techniques, improving community facilities and procedures, and assisting in marshaling the national resources of each country behind Scouting. The staff also helps arrange global events such as [[World Scout Jamboree]]s, encourages regional events, and acts as a liaison between the Scouting movement and other international organizations. A major effort in the emerging nations is the extension of the universal Good Turn into an organizationwide effort for community development. | The World Scout Bureau is administered by the secretary general, who is supported by a small staff of technical resource personnel.
