Our approach to membership is underpinned by the WAGGGS Constitution and Bye-Laws and reflects the Mission and Vision of the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement and WAGGGS’s Values.
This section explains how organisations become and remain members of WAGGGS, based on its Constitution and Bye-Laws.
Membership is governed by Article 10 of the WAGGGS Constitution. Member Organisations (MOs) are admitted by a process that involves approval by the World Board approval and ratification by Full Members at a World Conference.
Any organisation that meets the membership criteria (to the satisfaction of the World Board) and agrees to the responsibilities and duties outlined in the WAGGGS Constitution and Bye-Laws may apply for membership.
This Policy covers:
- Types of membership
- Requirements for joining and maintaining membership
- Member rights, responsibilities and privileges
- Membership pathways and procedures for addressing concerns
Definitions of key terms are in the Glossary
This Policy is supported by detailed procedures and guidance to ensure it is applied fairly and consistently across the Movement.
