About WAGGGS

United Nations NYC.jpgWith ten million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from 145 countries across the world, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) is the largest voluntary movement dedicated to girls and young women in the world.

The World Association supports girls and young women to develop their full potential as responsible citizens of the world. We focus on leadership development and active citizenship. These are delivered through our innovative global education and community and advocacy programmes.

We deliver a well-established, unique values-based approach to non-formal learning, that is international and intergenerational. Girls and young women develop life skills through self-development, challenge and adventure.

There are five WAGGGS’ regions – Africa, Arab, Asia Pacific, Europe and Western Hemisphere and four World Centres: Our Chalet in Switzerland, Sangam in India, Pax Lodge in UK and Our Cabaña in Mexico. The World Centres are residential and training centres where girls and young women develop leadership skills through international programmes and friendships.

As a member of kristobal deuna eskaut taldea from euskadi, a province of Spain I am proud of being a member of this movement. I entered here when I was 14, but this year, with 20 years, I have learnt a lot of this and I have discovered lots of things, for example, wagggs. I expect being in this movement at least 10 years more. Thank you.

As a Unit guider with the 7th Oakville Guides in Canada I am proud to be a member of the Guiding movement. I have been in guiding for over 18 years now and have enjoyed every second of it. Guiding has taught me to be a responsible, capable and socially aware adult who can handle everything! Reading everyone's comments here has ensured me that girls around the world are having a great time in Guiding. I do hope that one day I get to travel with Guiding and hopefully meet some of the amazing people above on the way!
