Global Girl Scouts

Your passport to discovery…

Find your place in the world—and discover new ways to make the world a better place—when you experience Girl Scouts on a global scale.
Global Girl Scouts helps boost your awareness of the world through cross-cultural learning opportunities that help you grasp important global issues and give you the power, inspiration, and resources to make a positive impact on the world.
Help us fulfill the vision of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low, whose dream was to spread Girl Scouting across the globe and work toward world peace. "Girl Scouting and Girl Guiding," she said, "can be the magic thread which links the youth of the world together."
With Global Girl Scouting you can make a real difference, whether you travel the world or decide to participate in local activities with worldwide impact.

Global Action Award

The Global Action award recognizes your commitment to improving the world by working to help meet any of the United Nations’ eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG). These goals—ranging from reducing poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS to providing universal primary education—form a blueprint for a better world.
Whatever goal you choose to work on, the Global Action award is a terrific way to participate in Girl Scouts’ Leadership Journeys.

World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) is a 146-member organization that includes Girl Scouts of the USA and whose mission is to inspire girls and young women to reach their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world.
Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to Asia.[3] After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world.[4] There are many different types of tea; some teas, like Darjeeling and Chinese greens, have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour,[5] while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes.
Tea originated in southwestern China, where it was used as a medicinal drink.[6] It was popularized as a recreational drink during the Chinese Tang dynasty, and tea drinking spread to other East Asian countries. Portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to the West during the 16th century.[7] During the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among Britons, who started large-scale production and commercialization of the plant in India to bypass a Chinese monopoly at that time.[8]
The phrase herbal tea usually refers to infusions of fruit or herbs made without the tea plant, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. These are also known as tisanes or herbal infusions to distinguish them from "tea" as it is commonly construed.
