We are a growing worldwide Movement - the voice of girls and young women who influence issues they care about and build a better world.

The Movements strength lies in the millions of girls and young women it serves and the impact they have amongst their friends, their families and the wider communities in which they live.

The World Association aims to engage and empower young women, so that they can make a difference in their communities. We want to reach out to more girls and young women - and grow the Movement. We have three main goals for our vision between now and 2011:

The mission of Scouting and Guiding is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout/Guide Promise and Law to help build a better world where people are self-reliant as individuals and play a constructive role in society. This is achieved by involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process.

•  Using a specific method that makes each individual the principal agent in his or her development as a self reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person.
• Assisting them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principals as expressed in the Promise and Law
