Arab Regional Committee

Ghofrane Ben Hamed, from Tunisia, is a passionate leader whose Guiding journey began in childhood and evolved into a lifelong commitment to empowering girls and young women. Growing up in a Scouting family, she advanced from Brownie to Ranger before stepping into leadership, becoming the youngest member of the Tunisian Scouts’ National Board and Supreme Council, where she contributed to constitutional reform and strengthened youth participation in governance.

Professionally, she is a Solution Architect and Team Leader in an international technology company, bringing together technical acumen, analytical thinking, and strong facilitation skills. Within WAGGGS, she has served as a facilitator at the Juliette Low Seminar, as a member of the Core Mission Team, and as Vice-Chair of the 22nd Arab Regional Conference. Most recently, she served on the Arab Regional Committee, driving initiatives in youth leadership, communications, and regional capacity building, before being elected Chair of the Arab Region.

Mona Amin, from Egypt, has over 34 years of dedicated service to the Girl Guiding Movement, where she has focused on empowering girls, supporting young women, and cultivating leadership that drives real impact. Her journey began as a Girl Guide and advanced through leadership roles to become Chair of the Girl Guides. She now serves as the National Training Commissioner in Egypt, where she leads strategic training initiatives that strengthen leadership capacity and expand opportunities for young women.
Alongside her Guiding journey, Mona is the Executive Director of an advertising agency, bringing professional expertise in media, communications, and advocacy. She has applied these skills to amplify the voices of girls and young women, advocate for their rights, and extend the influence of the Guiding Movement in society.
Mona has represented Egypt at numerous regional and global conferences, contributing to initiatives that prioritize empowerment, leadership, and advocacy for girls. She strongly believes that Guiding is a transformative mission—one that equips girls to lead, influence, and champion a brighter, more equitable future for their communities and the world.

I joined the guiding movement when I was 9 years old, and ever since then, I have been dreaming of having a positive impact on the world.

Through my guiding journey, I`ve equipped the tools I need to reach my dream and most importantly, I have earned the mindset that says “never give up”.

As a leader, I have worked on multiple events and camps that empower young women nationally and regionally to educate them about WAGGGS vision and goals, and introduce them to the opportunities for them to develop and polish their skills.

As a regional committee member, I want to amplify the efforts and work harder to reach a larger number of girls in different member organisations, and to ensure that every girl in the arab region has a voice that is heard, understood, and respected.
