In 2024, the Movement proudly achieved a reach of 11.2 million Members across 153 countries and territories. This membership exceeds pre-global pandemic levels and is a testament to our Members’ strength and resilience.
Throughout the year, we continued to make meaningful progress in supporting our Member Organisations and expanding opportunities for girls and young women to grow, lead and thrive. It was a year shaped by impactful delivery and forward-thinking strategy. More than 1 million girls and young women engaged with our global programmes, demonstrating the impact and relevance of our work. Backed by donor funding, grants and membership fees, we provided enriching experiences while also investing in long-term capacity and sustainability across the Movement.
This impact would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment of our volunteers. In 2024, hundreds of dedicated volunteers from across the world contributed their time, expertise and passion to advance our work. We also welcomed around 300 new volunteers to our global pool. Together, they supported the delivery of over 35 initiatives, reaching thousands of girls and young women across the Movement.
The launch of our 2024–2029 Global Strategy marked a pivotal step forward. Developed in close collaboration with Member Organisations, young women, volunteers and staff, the Strategy describes three outcomes:
A united and connected, girl-and young women-led Movement
Thriving, inclusive Member Organisations delivering a high-quality Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting experience
A sustainable WAGGGS
To bring this Strategy to life, we realigned our services and activities and adopted a three-year rolling action plan. This will guide our collective efforts, provide a framework for measuring progress and ensure that our Global Strategy is embedded throughout the Movement.
