Logo
The trefoil is the worldwide symbol for GirlGuiding. This design reflects the values, origins and relationship we have the world association (WAGGGS).
The continuous line that make up the leaves and stalk represent the adventurous journey that is GirlGuiding.
The star represents: the flame (of the love of humanity), compass point (pointing the way) and the two stars (the promise and law) that were found on the original trefoil logo. The star also represents the shining example that members set for others. The five points represent the WAGGGS regions. |
