International Guiding

Want to learn more about another culture? With 145 countries in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), there are many exciting opportunities for Girl Guides of Canada members to learn about or experience another culture and lifestyle. The Guiding program works hard to increase the cultural awareness of its members, making them a part of a larger, global community.

World Thinking Day

On February 22 of each year, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from around the world celebrate the birthdays of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell with activities that promote cultural education and global friendship. These activities could include international food and games, inviting an international visitor to speak about his or her country, or even experiencing another culture first-hand!
