These members are recognized national Scout organizations, which together have more than 50 million members. WOSM was founded in 1922 and has its operational headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and its legal representation in Geneva, Switzerland.

The significance of WOSM The current stated mission of WOSM is "to contribute to the education of youth through a value system based on the promise of Scouts and Scout law, to help build a better world where people self-actualize as individuals and play a constructive role in society." WOSM is divided into regions and works with the conference, committee and bureau.

The WOSM is associated with three World Scout Centres. The World Scout Jamboree is held roughly every four years under the auspices of the WOSM, with members of WAGGGS also invited. WOSM also organises the World Scout Moot, a Jamboree for 17- to 26-year-olds, and has organised the World Scout Indaba, a gathering for Scout leaders. The World Scout Foundation is a perpetual fund governed by a separate Board of Governors and supported by donations for the development of WOSM associated Scouting programs throughout the world.
