About WAGGGS

United Nations NYC.jpg With 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.

I am a Daisy Girl Scout leader in Michigan, United States. My 5 and 6 years olds are learning about Sangam at this week's meeting and then are participating in an online-scavenger hunt that I created to help them explore WAGGGS and the 4 World Centers complete with them having an international dinner on Thinking Day within their own familes. During our meetings, we are spending one meeting on a different culture which will give us the opportunity to learn about 4 amazing cultures that are seen within our troop: the Chinese, Indian, Mongolian, and German cultres.
