Young Women's World Forums
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts will celebrate 100 years of changing lives with a series of unique events. For the first time ever young women from around the world will participate in a Young Women’s World Forum, one taking place each year of the centenary celebrations. The first Young Women’s World Forum 2010 took place in the United Kingdom from 19 to 24 October 2010. You can read the daily updates from the special section, and don't miss the photos on flickr!
The second Young Women’s World Forum took place in March 2011 simultaneously at the four World Centres. Read the daily updates.
During the Girl Scouts Centenary in 2012, the USA will host the final Young Women’s World Forum.
All three events will be an amazing opportunity for young women from WAGGGS’ membership to come together and discuss the UN Millennium Development Goals.
