The International Scout Fellowship is open to former and current adult members of WFIS, to other adults who, because of work, cannot commit to the Rover Section, to adults who did not get the opportunity to be Scouts at an early age, and to adults who wish to contribute to independent Scouting, regardless of their Scouting backgrounds.
The ISF is governed by its World Council which is composed of representatives of each member Chapter. It meets once a year, usually electronically. Its day to day affairs are directed by the Executive Committee, which is elected by the World Council.
All positions in the ISF are staffed by volunteers. There are no paid employees.

“Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.
Sir Charles: Name one.
Simone Clouseau: Oh, he’s kind, loyal, faithful, obedient.
Sir Charles: You’re either married to a boy scout or a dachshund.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
