The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is a global organization of 10 million girls. The Europe Region is one of five regions of WAGGGS, providing over 1 million girls and young women in Europe with the opportunity to develop leadership and life skills, so that they can become self-motivated, responsible and active participants of their local communities and at all levels of society. 
  
We represent, at European level, 65 national Girl Guide and Girl Scout organizations from 38 countries in Europe. Click here to meet our members. 
 
Together with each National Association, we provide non-formal educational programmes and training to fulfill our mission:

to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential to become responsible citizens of the world
