We involve Member Organisations and the voice of girls and young women in our operations and key decisions.
We do this through Regional Conferences and a committee of volunteers and leaders from the Region.
Regional Conference
The European Guide Conference (Regional Conference) brings together Member Organisations every three years. During the Conference, senior volunteers and staff from across the Region celebrate achievements of the past three years and discuss strategies for the future development of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.
The Conference also elects six volunteers to the Europe Committee who work closely with the Europe Region staff based in Brussels.
