Our mission

Our mission

Our mission is to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world. Our mission sets our educational purpose with two dimensions; the development of an individual’s unique potential as an actor in their own life and, going beyond that, how reaching this potential enables them to create a better world as active global citizens. 

Whole person development is the lifelong process of learning and growing in all aspects of ourselves as human beings. It relies on a foundation of wellness; we cannot learn and grow if we do not feel safe or strong. In Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting, we contribute to the development of “fullest potential” by ensuring our learning and development work responds to all the areas where we learn and grow as human beings.
 

 

🌱Why environmental development? We understand better today that we grow as whole people in connection with our environment, and this aspect of our development has a significant impact on our wellbeing and capacity to thrive in a turbulent world. So we are proposing a seventh area of whole person development as relevant to consider, that focuses on our interconnectedness with the environment around us.
