This section sets out the approach to the membership of boys and men. The Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Movement recognises the valuable contribution that boys and men make to delivering its Mission.
Boys and men may be involved in Member Organisations in a variety of ways, including:
- Men (aged 18 and over) may be included as adult members in Member Organisations to support the governance and delivery of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting
- Boys (aged under 18) and men (aged 18 and over) can be members in WAGGGS-Only Organisations Admitting Boys (WOABs).
- Boys (aged under 18) who are members of a Member Organisation or Component Association that was accepted as a Member of WAGGGS and that registered boys (aged under 18) with WAGGGS before 1 January 2010 may continue to be registered as WAGGGS members, if the Member Organisation or Component Association wishes to do so.
Boys and men who are members of Member Organisations can fully participate in World and Regional Conferences. Other events and opportunities may also be open to men who are involved in Member Organisations.
