Worldwide MovementThe World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS—www.wagggsworld.org/en/home) is comprised of 145 member organizations, including Girl Scouts of the USA. WAGGGS not only unites all of its member or-ganizations, but promotes and establishes Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting organizations around the world. The goal of WAGGGS is to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world.

Headquartered at the World Bureau in London, WAGGGS also owns and operates four world centers. Girl Scouts of the USA supports international friendships through contributions to WAGGGS, including a donation every year from its Juliette Low World Friendship Fund: www.girlscouts.org/who_we_are/global/juliette_low_fund.asp. World Thinking Day Fund: www.worldthinkingday.org/en/home

World Centers The four world centers, Our Cabaña in Cuernavaca, Mexico; Our Chalet in Adelboden, Switzerland; Pax Lodge in London, England; and Sangam in Pune, India, are owned and operated by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). Staffed by volunteers and paid international staff, the centers offer Girl Guides and Girl Scouts a comfortable, inexpensive, and safe place for short stays or long-term accommodations, seminars, trainings, and international events. Members of Girls Scouts of the USA and their families are encouraged to visit the centers, meet girls from other countries, and build lasting friendships.

Our Cabaña (www.ourcabana.org/), located 47 miles from Mexico City, is a beautiful retreat located in historic Cuernavaca. Our Cabaña is the largest of the four world centers, can accommodate up to 90 guests, and offers five-, eight-, and nine-night sessions throughout the year to girl and adult members of WAGGGS and GSUSA, including Girl Friendship sessions and Adult Adventure programs.

Our Chalet (www.ourchalet.ch/) was the first world center built by WAGGGS. Located in the picturesque Swiss Alps, Girl Scouts, Girl Guides and their families can explore the network of trails and footpaths that lead to snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear waters, alpine forests, and wild flower meadows. Our Chalet offers a wide array of programs from high-adventure activities such as skiing or hiking to leadership seminars.

Pax Lodge (paxlodge.wagggsworld.org), located in Hampstead Village, 20 minutes by subway from the center of London, is an ideal base for exploring the city’s rich history, tradition, and culture. This world center offers a vibrant selection of cultural programs for youth and adults as well as leadership seminars and day activities.

Sangam (www.sangamworldcentre.org), situated along the banks of the Mula River in Pune, India, is a few hours from Mumbai (Bombay). Sangam, which means “coming together” in Sanskrit, brings Girl Guides and Girl Scouts together from around the globe. Events, scheduled from June to March, emphasize cultural sharing, common Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting links, and the rich cultural heritage of India.

DressGirl Guides and Girl Scouts are expected to wear their official Girl Scout uniforms or camp uniforms when visiting the world centers. Continued...

Here is a checklist of general indicators for leaders and girls to look for to determine group readiness for a trip.

1. The trip upholds Girl Scout policies and standards.The trip meets all appropriate program standards listed in •  Safety-Wise chapter six, “Girl Scout Program

Standards.”

Decisions are made in advance about how to pay bills that occur before the trip, en route, and afterward.• 

6. Members take responsibility for personal conduct and equipment.Girls and adults know what clothing and equipment to take and how to use and pack the equipment.• When the group travels in uniform, all travelers have a Girl Scout uniform. Girls and adults are expected to be • 

in official uniform to represent Girl Scouts of the USA and respect the traditions of the Girl Guide and Girl Scout movements when traveling internationally to events and opportunities at world centers and other Girl Guide/Girl Scout international activities.

Girls understand their responsibilities as travelers. Everyone is briefed on appropriate conduct and safety •  precautions in public places, restrooms, escalators, and elevators, as well as on building stairs and selected forms of transportation.

Groups staying in hotels are prepared to take special precautions to protect their own safety and know what •  to do in case of fire. (See Hotel Security and Safety Tips on pages 146-147 in Safety-Wise.)

Special equipment required, such as tents, bicycles, canoes, etc., is checked and ready well before the •  departure date.

Individual limits on luggage and equipment are set and adhered to. Each person is able to carry her own •  individually identified belongings except when a special consideration, such as a disability, warrants alternative plans. All valuables are left at home.

to determine the level of first-aid training needed.Provisions are made for first aid.• For trips of three nights or more, insurance coverage is obtained for the entire trip through the council under • 

one of the optional accident or accident and sickness plans available. For international trips, request information from your council about the comprehensive foreign travel insurance and travel assistance program provided by Mutual of Omaha.

Arrangements have been made for an adult contact back home for routine reporting as well as for •  emergencies.

Written itineraries, including telephone numbers and addresses, are prepared for girls, their families, the •  council office, and the back-home contact. On overseas trips, the written itineraries include U.S. embassy and consulate locations.

Everyone understands procedures for handling accidents, illnesses, and emergencies.• Trip leaders for specialized trips, such as canoeing or backpacking, have taken water safety and leadership • 

training for the activity and are familiar with the Girl Scout Program Standards and activity checkpoints set forth in Safety-Wise.

The procedures for Girl Scouts traveling alone aim to make the girl feel comfortable and capable of traveling on her own and should include:

Event sponsor guidance through the application, acceptance, and trip-planning process.• Assessment by the sponsoring group of the girl’s maturity and ability to handle herself alone, including • consultation with the girl’s parents or guardian.Orientation on hotel security and safety. (See pages 146–147 of •  Safety-Wise.)Provision of emergency forms, with names and telephone numbers of emergency contacts if the girl’s family is • not available; arrangements for acceptance of emergency collect calls by emergency contacts. Note that the sponsor provides telephone numbers of emergency contacts at the event site or the arrival point.Advice to the girl and her family to book nonstop direct flights to and from the event whenever possible, and • advice to have the travel agent alert the airline and airport personnel that the girl is traveling alone. Airlines provide extra help and support for minors traveling alone.When girls are traveling alone in public places, it is recommended that they not wear name badges/tags that • are visible to a casual passerby as these have sometimes been used against an unsuspecting girl.

Girl Scot councils can provide the volunteer and the girl with additional information and advice to help ensure a safe trip.
