🧭 West — Wisdom

Wisdom comes from experience.

From lessons learned on the trail.

From successes, failures, and the moments in between.

Great leaders share that wisdom with others, helping guide the next generation forward.

In Scouting, wisdom means using our experience to help young people navigate their own path.

Because the goal of leadership isn’t just to lead today.

It’s to prepare others to lead tomorrow.

If you keep those four directions in front of you, you will never truly be lost.

So, wherever your Scouting trail leads from here, back to your unit, your district, your council, carry that compass with you.

The trail ahead for Scouting is brighter when leaders like you are walking it.

🧭 South — Serve

The best leaders don’t lead for recognition.

They lead to serve others.

Servant leadership means putting the needs of others first, helping people succeed, and building a team where everyone can thrive.

In Scouting, service is more than an action.

It’s a mindset.

When leaders serve, they create an environment where young people can grow into leaders themselves.

True leadership is measured not by how many follow you, but by how many you help succeed.

🧭 East — Encourage

Sometimes leadership is as simple as believing in someone before they believe in themselves.

Encouragement fuels confidence.

A few words of support…
A moment of recognition…
A leader who says, “You’ve got this.”

Those moments can change the direction of someone’s journey.

Great leaders lift others up and motivate them to try, to grow, and to lead.

Encouragement is often the spark that helps someone take their next step.

🧭 North — Nurture

Great leaders don’t just lead.

They grow leaders.

To nurture is to mentor, coach, and guide others along their journey. It means investing time in people, helping them develop confidence, skills, and character.

Every Scout who learns to lead…
Every volunteer who finds encouragement…
Every young person who discovers their potential…

That happens because someone chose to nurture them.

Leadership begins when we choose to grow others.

Introducing the Leadership Compass

Leadership is a journey.
And every journey needs a compass.

As we begin this journey, we’ll be using a simple idea to guide the way, the Leadership Compass.

Just like a compass has four directions, strong leadership is guided by four principles:

🧭 N — Nurture
🧭 E — Encourage
🧭 S — Serve
🧭 W — Wisdom

We’ll explore each direction and how it helps leaders steer the future of Scouting.

Because leadership isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about guiding others along the trail.
