Guiding is a worldwide organization. There are
presently 144 member countries within the World Association of
Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The role of the international
committee is to provide Manitoba Girl Guide members with international
opportunities and an education on the world's different cultures.
International program pieces are introduced as early as Sparks and continue through
all levels of Guiding. Our youngest members may learn an international game, dance
or craft, Brownies may decide to have an international pen friend and Guides can
hold cross border visits with a Girl Scout troop. Pathfinders and Rangers
are given opportunities to attend Guiding events all over the world.
International Committee Roles
- coordinate International education throughout the province
- advise members about upcoming International opportunities
