Thank You Holly

Hello Sisters in Guiding!  The other day I received a letter in the mail from Nova Scotia Girl Guide's Provincial Commissioner, Holly Thompson.  What a nice surprise!  Enclosed was a lovely thank you letter and a heart shaped jar gripper.  Holly had sent out a letter to every Guider in Nova Scotia as a thank you.  Thank You Holly! and thank you for your service as Provincial Commissioner over the past five years.

WAGGGS Regions/World Centre minibooks

Hello Guiders and Owls... 

Some of you are wondering about the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts Regions, aka WAGGGS Regions. 

There are 10 million members of WAGGGS  in 145 countries around the world.  The countries are located in five regions.

The five WAGGGS Regions are:  

Africa Arab Asia Pacific Europe Western Hemisphere 

This map shows the regions by colour.

Go here to learn more about the Regions and how they work. Go here to access a drop down menu to find detailed information about the WAGGGS Member Organizations {145 countries listed}.

 

Recently I had edited my Four World Centres minibook to make it usable by all WAGGGS Regions. I use this minibook as a passport for a World Thinking Day meeting activity. {I made coordinating posters that I place around the meeting space as a round robin style meeting}.

The first photo is my original World Centres minibook which has the CWFF page, Pax Lodge, Our Chalet, Sangam, Our Cabana, and WAGGGS page {plus the front and back covers}. 

The remaining minibook photos show the regional logos in place of the Canadian World Friendship Fund page.  If you find this minibook activity useful then let me know and I will send you the pdf.

I did a google search for WAGGGS Region logo images and found these: {I could not find a detailed logo for Arab Region nor Europe Region...and could not find a colour coded logo for Asia Pacific Region...so if you happen to find them please leave a comment}.

Note: There is a fifth World Centre Pilot project that 

could potentially lead to a fifth World Centre in Africa.

Check out this WAGGGS page for more details.

"The project will be evaluated, with results and 

recommendations presented at the 

35th World Conference in Hong Kong in 2014". 

Have a great day!

Thanks for visiting Owl & Toadstool

Update 10 March 2014:  

I now have the colour logo for the Asia Pacific Region thanks to Carol B. for sending a link!  I also made mini-books with coloured logos for the Western Hemisphere Region and Africa Region.  If you would like to request these files just send me an email {see my profile} and state which version you would like; the detailed logo , the coloured logo, no logo, CWFF version {or all versions}.

This version would be good if you have the Region stickers from the WAGGGS shop!

4 World Centres Western Hemisphere minibook

Happy World Thinking Day!  I know....I did not get around to doing my Thinking Day post.  Time {and colds and family} has a way of sneaking up on us doesn't it?  So I thought I would atleast post something.  Hopefully, some of you will be able to use this in the future.  I edited my 4 World Centres minibook to make it usable by all WAGGGS Western Hemisphere countries, not just Canada.  So here it is, kinda late!

The above version is the result from an email with New Zealand Guider, Anna. {Hi Anna!...it is amazing that I get to converse with Guiders from all over the world because of this Blog!} Anna liked the original version of my minibook but inquired about changing it to suit her country.  It was simple to change so I had offered to do the edit.  Anna had sent me an image to replace my Canadian content...CWFF page...and this is the result...an Asia Pacific Region version.  I aim to make one for each WAGGGS region.

Well, that's all for today my friends.  Happy World Thinking Day to all 10 million of you! Wow that's alot of members!  Have a fun day Saturday!
