Projects
Find out how Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are working to change the world
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.
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.
WAGGGS’ Global Action Theme is girls worldwide say "together we can change our world". It encourages girls, young women and members of all ages to make a personal commitment to change the world around them. It also affirms WAGGGS’ commitment to the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Mutual Aid scheme aims to promote international co-operation, friendship and understanding among Member Organizations of WAGGGS. Through the Scheme, Member Organizations with higher incomes pledge funds to support projects run by Member Organizations in poorer countries. These projects vary in their nature, but are all designed to improve the lives of girls and young women, and their communities.
The WAGGGS Network is a resource for Member Organizations to find out more about each other. It’s a way to bring Member Organizations closer together by sharing best practice examples, supporting projects through the Mutual Aid scheme and connecting with each other through partnerships and twinning programmes.
