Projects
Welcome to the WAGGGS projects section
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is involved in a variety of projects around the world. These are undertaken at either world, regional or national level. These projects provide another way for WAGGGS to work towards achieving its mission by actively involving girls and young women in areas where they can make a difference.If you are part of a Member Organization and want to find out more about these projects, or you want to find out how Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are working to change the world, then the information you need will be posted in this section.
We set up projects in a wide range of areas from environmental concerns, health and working towards peace to international understanding. These are just a few examples. We also provide opportunities for Member Organizations to reach out across the world and link up with different countries in an exchange of skills and resources.
WAGGGS works with a wide range of NGOs and UN agencies on projects where recognised specialists are required. This allows us to influence decision making in issues affecting girls and young women.
The Hong Kong Girl Guides Association and WAGGGS have designed a new 'Olympia Badge' to celebrate that the Games of the XXIX Olympiad which will be held in Beijing in August 2008. Find out more about the Olympia Badge.
Our Rights, Our Responsibilities
Over the past three years, over 90 Member Organizations have been involved in projects which are linked to Our Rights, Our Responsibilities, our six year ‘triennial’ theme.
Working towards Peace
WAGGGS has been involved in several international projects which aim to promote and encourage peace around the world. The projects have ranged from working with refugees and organising peace seminars to establishing the “Building World Citizenship” programme.
Adolescent Health
Following our first global research study focusing on adolescent health, we created 7 key messages. For more information about the findings of our study, visit the Issues section. On this page you will find information including what it takes to earn the AIDS Badge, a programme devised in partnership with UNAIDS and ICASO.
Leadership Development
WAGGGS has been developing girls and young women as leaders for almost 100 years. Leadership development in WAGGGS is about growing leaders to ensure that they realize their potential and have the necessary core competencies (skills, knowledge and experience) needed to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
We are currently developing the WAGGGS Leadership Development Programme which will provide resources for training events at an international level.

When I first heard about guides I knew that it was important and that I have to join. Girl guides to me is a very important and cool thing, even though I'm living in the smallest island I know many things about guides and its routines to meeting other people and touring the world.......it's great!!!!!

What a window on the world!!! I hope that more and more countries will enable us to know the great projects they are carrying out, that are really changing the world of those who benefit from them! In order to see everything at a glance, it could be great to have a map of the world with a flag for every project. Thank you, it is going to be an important tool, especially for WAGGGS advocacy!

It is my first time to view this and I'am very much impressed as a Guider.
In Tanzania we do not know how to go about with project and how get finances to enable us to carry out our projects.In Arusha currently we are helping women to be more responsible to the environment by using solar cooking methods. In schools we have introduced environment clubs so that the information is passed to parents.

I was in Kenya Nirobi at YWCA'S Conference and attended one of your workshops, before then i never heard about wagggs and therefore checked it out on my return home. I think it's a good organisation formed to help with the empowerment of knowledge for young women and girls. I am way pass the age if there's an age limit but i will definitely do my part to help in my country. Keep up the good work.
