About us
There are over a billion girls in the world. Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting is the space they need to be the best they can be. For over 100 years we’ve been the only global movement geared entirely to every girl and any girl. In places local to them – safe from judgement, stereotyping and violence – girls learn by doing, make friends and have fun. Free to make what they want of all that the Movement offers, girls can reach for their full potential. They become happy and adventurous individuals, with the skills and attitude which are changing their community and their world. Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting creates connected generations of capable, fair and daring girls. Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting. For her world.

We are delighted to be working with The Spectris Foundation on the launch of this exciting new STEM project in collaboration with Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association and Nepal Scouts, and with support from the WAGGGS Asia Pacific Region. STEM skills have become increasingly important for participation in the modern workforce, for successfully navigating daily life, and in tackling many of the world’s most significant challenges. Together we will encourage the next generation of girls and young women in Nepal and Sri Lanka to explore STEM and be inspired by the opportunities it presents for them. We will spark their curiosity and support them to break down barriers, advocate for greater gender equality, and to know that they have the capacity to lead change in all areas of STEM now, and in the future. Thank you to The Spectris Foundation and Spectris plc, to Sarah Smith, Rebecca L. and Priscilla Asirifi ACMA for your support! #WAGGGSImpact #STEMChangemakers #GirlGuiding #GirlScouting #GirlsAndWomenInSTEM #CorporatePartnerships #StrategicPartnerships
The Spectris Foundation is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), the largest voluntary movement dedicated to girls and young women in the world. This collaboration will mobilise a non-formal education STEM programme for girls and young women in Sri Lanka and Nepal – two countries where girls are notably underrepresented in STEM fields. The project will: 💪 Strengthen the capacity and confidence of adult volunteer Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting leaders to deliver a newly developed STEM curriculum. 🌠 Inspire and engage girls and young women with STEM in a safe and fun, non-formal education environment where they will gain a strong understanding of the importance of STEM to their own daily lives and to the future of our world. 💡 Empower girls and young women with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue STEM education, careers, and leadership as equal participants and contributors to the field. 🌍 Contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal 5: achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. We very much look forward to working with WAGGGS to enable girls and young women in Sri Lanka and Nepal to develop their understanding of STEM, to see STEM as a credible career option, and to know that they have the capacity to lead change in all areas of STEM now, and in the future. Together, we can make a significant difference! You can find out more information about this project here: https://lnkd.in/e4NhjhaU

The YESS Girls’ Movement is #WAGGGS’ international exchange programme for young women aged 18-35 years and is delivered in partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Exchange Cooperation (Norec). This year 60 participants representing 12 different countries took part, and have recently returned home after their six month exchange. But the journey doesn't stop there, and neither does the #IMPACT. Here are just a few examples of the #BackToMyRoots projects that the participants have been implementing since returning home. ▶In #Zimbabwe Adele worked with 55 local Girl Guides to plant trees around their school premises. ▶In #Burundi Louella led advocacy and awareness training on Internet Safety for 47 girls. ▶In #Ghana Eugenia is giving back by training 40 girls on Menstrual Hygiene Management and how to make reusable sanitary pads. ▶In #Kenya Joyce organised a session for 780 young women on femicide and ending gender based violence with an expert counsellor facilitating. ▶In #Nepal Shreeya Rokaya has trained 38 women in making reusable sanitary pads with support from Pyari. We are empowering young women to develop the skills and confidence needed to make positive changes in their lives, in their communities and in their countries.

Everyone has heard of #Leadership. But have you heard of the #JulietteLowSeminar (#JLS)? #JLS is a nine-month leadership development programme for #GirlGuides and #GirlScouts aged between 18-30 from all around the world. This year 150 participants from 70 different countries are coming together under the theme of #Peace to take part in this incredible leadership journey developing their skills as global citizens and peacebuilders. The participants have recently embarked on the #Expedition element of the programme - hosted at three of our World Centres (#Sangam in India, #Kusafiri in Ghana, and #NuestraCabaña in Mexico) where they will engage in a series of immersive activities designed to challenge, inspire, and empower them. They will also be working on their #100Girls projects which they will implement when they return home - to empower 100 young girls in their own local communities. Big shout out to the team of over 40 volunteers and WAGGGS staff from our World Centres and our Core Mission team who make this programme happen! #JLS2024 #LeadForPeace #WAGGGSImpact #YoungWomenInLeadership #GirlGuiding #GirlScouting #Leadership #GlobalConnections #WAGGGSWorldCentres
