 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. |
 Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting are open to all girls and young women whatever their religion, ethnic group or background. A Girl Guide or Girl Scout accepts the Promise and the Law based on spiritual values, personal development and commitment to helping others. |

 In 1909 several girls demanded a place for girls at the Crystal Palace Boy Scout Rally. They were the very first advocates of the Movement - speaking out and challenging the norms and gender conventions of the time. To honour our history and to build for the future, WAGGGS will celebrate the centenary of the international Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement over three years, from 2010 to 2012. |
 Through its Member Organizations and through working directly with girls and young women, WAGGGS delivers high quality non-formal educational programmes and international opportunities that provide girls and young women dynamic, flexible and values-based training in life skills, leadership and citizenship. |

 Your expertise, skills, interests, life experience, and availability are needed! Without the commitment of the nearly 1.5 million volunteers around the world, Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting could not happen. |
 The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts works with many national, regional and international organizations and alliances to further its mission to enable girls and young women to develop to their fullest potential and become responsible citizens of the world. It has partnered with the United Nations for over 60 years.

HI.
I am a Girl Guide from Liberia. I'll be attending the Girl World Forum in Chicago, U.S.A. I would love to meet all my colleagues from all around the globe. I am sure it'll be real nice being there.

Hi...I love Girl Scouts because you help others and it is fun to be with people your age and not your age. I also love the projects and activities that we do together that usually end up helping other people.

I am a girl scout from NY and love being a girl scout. You get to help the community while having lots of fun. My troop is always helping out at our local food pantry and even though this sounds redundant it truly is extremely fun. I don't know why anyone would ever quit girl scouts. I think it's really cool to look at all the badges i've earned and remember all the good times we've had as a troop. If you are not a girl scout already I strongly believe and encourage you to try it!
