Experiencing guiding abroad at the Juliette Low Seminar

We join Girlguiding UK participant Olivia on her journey to Ghana

04 March 2025

The Juliette Low Seminar is a leadership development programme for girl guides and girl scouts aged 18-30 from all around the world. 

The seminar is run by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), the largest voluntary movement dedicated to empowering girls and young women in the world.

As a member of WAGGGS, Girlguiding UK send a participant to the event, which looks to build friendships across borders and help young women step into spaces where they feel brave.
