1. About WAGGGS’s Membership Fees
The Constitution of WAGGGS states that Member Organisations may be required to pay reasonable membership fees. These fees are established by the World Conference.
Membership fees are therefore a constitutional obligation deriving from membership of WAGGGS and should not be confused with an individual fee per Girl Guide / Girl Scout or a return on investment through the provision of services.
The fees collected are used to meet some, but not all, of the costs required to achieve the WAGGGS Global Strategy, as approved by Member Organisations at World Conferences.
It is up to each Member Organisation to determine how it will raise the funds needed to pay its fee.
Where applicable, it is up to each Federation to determine how it will divide the membership fee across its Component Associations.
