Meaningful Youth Participation Framework

Meaningful Youth Participation • 11 December 2025

📌Meaningful Youth Participation is one of the key characteristics of a quality Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting Experience, as set out in the Growing and Learning Framework. It is also an essential element of our journey towards our Compass 2032 vision to be girls and young women-led as a Movement.

🌱 This Framework explains what meaningful youth participation is and what it is not in Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting. It prompts both personal and organisational reflection for how we can enable and mainstream meaningful youth participation into all areas of our work.
