On Saturday, 10 October 2026, H.R.H. the Grand Duke welcomed members of the World Scout Foundation to the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg for the Foundation's 82nd Board Meeting, chaired by Mr Beat Wenger.

The meeting marked the first gathering of the World Scout Foundation Board in Luxembourg since the Grand Duke assumed the role of Honorary Chair of the Foundation in May 2026, succeeding H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. Having served as a member of the World Scout Foundation’s Board since 2017, including as Chair from 2021 to 2023, the Grand Duke has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to the Foundation and its mission.

The meeting was preceded by a World Scout Foundation Dinner held on Friday evening, 9 October, at Berg Castle. The occasion brought together supporters of the Foundation, reflecting their shared commitment to Scouting and to creating opportunities for young people around the world.

On Saturday evening, the Grand Duke also attended an event gathering Baden-Powell Fellows.

The World Scout Foundation supports the delivery and growth of World Scouting through the generosity of individual donors - Baden-Powell Fellows - partner organisations and passionate supporters who believe in Scouting’s mission.
