The World Scout Indaba was a series of three gatherings of Scout Leaders from around the world, held in 1952, 1957 and 1960. The idea was proposed in 1949 at the 12th World Scout Conference in Elvesæter, Norway where The Boy Scouts Association of the United Kingdom submitted that of the large number of Scouters working in a pack, troop or crew, only a very small percentage were ever able to take part in a major international Scout gathering. Indaba is Zulu for "tribal conference" and the name was suggested by Lord Rowallan.
