World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts

Published: Saturday, 26 July 2014

Spoke in Hong Kong at the the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) on 9 July.  The WAGGGS is the largest voluntary organisation dedicated to girls and young women. They consist of ten million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from 145 countries across the world, and their international conference happens every three years.  My speech was live-translated into 7 languages simultaneously!
