REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Indonesia is set to host the International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF) World Conference 2017 in Bali.

"We are proud that Indonesia was chosen to host the ISGF Conference," the Chairperson of Adult Scout Association (Hipprada), Haryono Suyono, said on Thursday.

He explained that ISGF, which is an international organization like Hipprada, organized the world conference every three years. As many as 101 countries participate in it.

In the 27th international conference held from October 10 to 15 in Sydney, Australia, this year, Indonesia was chosen as the host of the 28th ISGF World Conference. However, the exact date of the event has yet to be decided. According to Suyono, the world conference could serve to boost Indonesia's tourism sectors.
