The Girl Scout Movement is more than a local troop or even a national organization. It is a global sisterhood connecting millions of girls and young women across more than 150 countries.
Join us for a special edition of Year of Service as we celebrate International Day of the Girl and explore what it means to be part of a worldwide movement of changemakers. Learn about the challenges and opportunities girls face around the globe, discover the power of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), and hear directly from Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from other countries as they share their cultures, traditions, and experiences.
This unique session is presented by GSOC's Global Summit delegates, a group of girls selected to attend the Girl Scout National Convention and participate in global leadership workshops alongside more than 100 Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from around the world. They will share what they learned about global citizenship, leadership, and the importance of building connections across cultures.
