The Seminar explained the concept of the Scouts of the World Award and its elements such as the Scouts of the World Discovery, Scouts of the World Voluntary Service, Scouts of the World Partnership, and support structures. It provided a detailed presentation of the characteristics, objectives and forms of operation of this international initiative in the Rover Scout Section. The agenda covered theory, examples of successful practices and ideas that have proven effective in promoting and developing the SW Award in different parts of the world, as well as specific contributions for implementation at the national level.

The Seminar was designed for leaders who work on youth programme development or are members of national programme commissions, especially those directly related to the Rover Scout Section, and for national commissioners or professionals working in youth programme in NSOs that are in the process of implementing the Scouts of the World Award at the national level.
