If you want to know more about your Association, group or troop can become more involved in advocacy, you can download our new Toolkit on Advocacy, produced with the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.  In the toolkit you can find more information about the role of advocacy in Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting; how your Association or group can develop an advocacy project, the different advocacy activities in which you can become involved; and where you can find more resources and support.  

You can also contact the Europe Office WAGGGS, where you can find more information on WAGGGS Position Statements, advocacy guidelines and training opportunities on advocacy.
