August Enrichment: World Association Pin

At the August leader's meeting, we discussed the meaning and symbolism behind the World Association pin. All girls and leaders can wear this pin, symbolizing their membership in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).  If your girls do not have this pin, Thinking Day is a good time of year to talk about it and hand it out.

Blue and Gold: The blue represents the blue sky and the sun shining down on the all peoples of the world.

The Vein: A compass needle that points the way.

Trefoil: Represents the three parts of the promise that is present in all Girl Scout promises, worldwide.

Two Stars: Representing the promise and the law.

Flame: At the base, the flame represents the eternal love of humanity.

The Gold Circle: Shows that we are an growing movement; it is open at the bottom to symbolize that the circle is always open to new members.
