Global Citizenship
International opportunities allow girls to further develop their knowledge and understanding of themselves and of Girlguiding.
Travellers go not only on a physical journey but also on an educational journey of self-discovery. They become more independent, learn about teamwork, using their initiative and problem solving. Most importantly, travel develops an appreciation and respect for the similarities and differences in other cultures.
All girls are taught to be globally aware and to regard themselves as a citizen of the world. Through activities, events and trips overseas they learn to value and respect diversity of other cultures. Guides are committed to sustainable development overseas and the importance of looking after the environment.
Ultimately Guides believe that people can make a difference.
