From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. László Nagy (born 1921) was the Chief Executive of the World Organization of the Scout Movement from 1968-1985. A Swiss citizen of Hungarian origin, Dr. Nagy is a sociologist, historian and Doctor of Political Science, a former journalist and the author of a number of books on politics. In 1966, Dr. Nagy undertook a two year critical study of the Scouting movement around the world, financed by the Ford Foundation. In 1968, WOSM invited him to put his recommendations into practice and appointed him to his WOSM post, for a three year term that eventually lasted 17 years.
