Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting is open to all girls and young women without distinction of creed, race, nationality, or any other circumstance.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts believes that the education of girls, as well as the education of boys, includes ‘education for equal partnership’. Young men and young women are taught to recognize their differences and their similarities, and to respect each other as individuals.

Each WAGGGS Member Organization chooses how it believes it can best promote this, taking into account its culture and the needs of its young people. Some choose to work with girls alone in a single sex environment in order to break down stereotypes and to give girls and young women the confidence to take their place in society. Other Member Organizations prefer to work with mixed groups to enable young women and young men equal partnership within their units. Some Organizations choose to mix co-educational and single sex approaches according the age and the preferences of the young people. Whatever approach is chosen, it is always chosen in order to fulfil the Mission of WAGGGS, to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world.
