World Guiding Goes to Hong Kong

Excerpts from the introduction by the International Commissioner to the World Guiding Goes to Hong Kong Pack

When the 35th World Conference gets underway in July 2014, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from all corners of the globe can expect to feel exhilarated by the tremendous opportunities ahead.

The World Conference takes place every three years and in 2014 the Hong Kong Girl Guides will act as hosts.

Hong Kong fuses vibrant Chinese culture with fast-paced business and industry. The impressive skyscrapers, bustling harbour and international crowds create an exciting atmosphere that will inspire conference delegates to set ambitious goals for the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).

Delegates will be laying the future path for our World Association of 10 million members and considering how we can enable more girls and young women to develop to their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world.
