We do not do things outside of what we have all decided to do during the conference. It trickles down to the Africa region and then to the Ghana national association.

Jemima Nartey, former Vice Chairperson of the World Scout Committee, emphasized that the Board and NEC are pivotal to the GSA's functioning and its role within the global scouting movement. She highlighted that scouting operates under a unified global framework, with decisions cascading from international conferences through regional structures to national associations like Ghana's.

Jonathan Omondi, Director for Education and Impact at the World Organisation Bureau, commended the GSA for its seamless leadership transition, noting its rarity in many organizations. He also mentioned a recent two-day workshop for the leaders, which focused on governance strategy, risk management, and conflict management, culminating in the creation of a team charter. The newly inducted members have committed to diligently working towards the association's advancement and providing effective leadership during their tenure.

The board and the NEC bodies were key drivers of the GSA’s operations and would play a critical role in strengthening scouting activities across the country.
