Uniforms around the World:
Explore global guiding with
Girlguiding Cymru
For four years, Girlguiding Cymru has been working on a unique and inspiring project: documenting the uniforms of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts across the globe. We're thrilled to unveil our comprehensive "Uniforms around the world" resource, a resource that we hope will bring the world of guiding to life.
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts reaches 10.8 million girls and young women in 153 countries across our five regions.
A world of uniforms at Your fingertips:
225 detailed sheets: Dive into a treasure trove of information with 225 individual sheets, each showcasing the uniforms of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, and Rangers (or their equivalent sections) in every full and associate member country of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). Some countries have more than one organisation. We have included separate sheets for each organisation. The sheets can be downloaded here.
Regional Downloads: To make your exploration easier, we've organised the project into five downloadable PDF files, each representing a WAGGGS region:

Inspired by global connections:
This project was born from a deep appreciation for the iconic WAGGGS posters of the 80s and 90s, which ignited a passion for global Guiding in our project lead, Lisa. We wanted to recreate that sense of wonder and connection for a new generation.
“My most vivid memory from Brownies in the 1980’s was staring in wonder at the posters of the beautiful uniforms around the world. They were produced by WAGGGS.
Even at the age of 7 these illustrations sparked curiosity and pride that I was part of something that was a worldwide movement. ”
