The 15th World Scout Moot was held in Iceland for 10 days between the 25th July and the 2nd August 2017. BSO had 4 members attend the moot, 3 as participants (18 to 25 years old) and 1 as International Service Team (IST – 25+ years old). World Scout Moots are official events of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the 15th World Scout Moot was hosted and organised by the Icelandic Boy and Girl Scout Association.

Members of BSO attended as part of the UK Contingent. The UK Contingent was the largest contingent ever at a World Scout Moot, with around 200 IST and 600 participants, and consisted of members in counties, regions and areas across the UK Scout Association.
