Creating a world where every girl feels empowered to lead, explore and make a difference.
Girl Guides WA are honoured to be part of the larger family of Girl Guides Australia (GGA) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). This alliance unites us in a global mission to empower girls and young women. Our connection to the worldwide Guiding community allows us to extend our impact far beyond local borders, participating in collaborative projects, engaging with World Centres, and contributing to regional and global initiatives. Through these efforts, we’re not just nurturing the growth of our members; we’re actively involved in shaping and advancing the Guiding movement on a global scale.
