What is Global?

Every Girl Scout is part of a special group of girls that stretches not just across the United States, but around the world. Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) which includes 10 million girls in 150 countries. All those girls, in all those countries, are working to make the world a better place.

Throughout the year, girls have the opportunity to work together and participate in Girl Scout programming that relates to different global issues affecting women and girls. 

Remember: local to global to local. Global issues do not just happen somewhere else. Girls can take action by addressing a global issue that affects their local community, such as hunger, poverty, natural disasters, or human trafficking, for example. By addressing the issue on a local level, they are contributing to global progress.


Let’s Get Started!

Global Action Days Patch

Troops, groups, individuals, and service units: Earn the Global Action Days patch when you celebrate three of the Global Action Days during the year by completing at least one activity from the toolkit for each day. See pages 10-11 for details. Request your patches by completing the final report .

Please note: Because World Thinking Day has its own award, it cannot be used to earn the Global Action Days patch.

Global Arms of Advocacy

Teens: Global Arms of Advocacy (GAA) is a collaborative, girl-led program developed by Girl Scouts San Diego in which Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts educate themselves and their peers on local and global contemporary issues relevant to women and girls with the support and guidance of adult facilitators. Learn more and apply (Applications go live each summer).

Destinations

Cadettes-Ambassadors: Destinations are unique opportunities for individual girls to connect with other Girl Scouts, explore new adventures, and see the world! There are domestic Destinations here in the U.S., as well as international events. All are sponsored by GSUSA and are conducted by Girl Scout councils and other trusted providers.
