World Centres Tours
World Centres Tours
Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting has transformed the lives of young women worldwide, empowering them to achieve their fullest potential and become responsible world citizens. We’ve teamed up with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) to give girls a truly unique experience. WAGGGS is a Movement dedicated to supporting girls and young women from around the world in developing skills and confidence needed to make positive changes in their lives and communities.
These tours take girls to dedicated WAGGGS World Centres around the world: Our Chalet in Switzerland, Pax Lodge in the UK, or Sangam in India. It’s a chance for girls from all over the world to come together to participate in special programming, learn new skills, experience international sisterhood, and make friendships that will last a lifetime.

Girls take the lead
Every girl gets to play an active role in their experience. Taking on responsibilities and being engaged in the process, from beginning to end, is a powerful way to gain leadership skills that will benefit them long after their tour has ended.
Learn how you can give your girls the opportunity to take the lead and learn skills like goal setting, decision-making, money management, communication and global citizenship.

Personalized learning: Every tour comes with a personalized learning platform that taps into each girl’s passions to help her put a more personal lens on the trip.College readiness: An EF Tour for Girls is a perfect opportunity to start thinking about college!
