Scouts of the USA (GSUSA).

Supporters of the Olave Baden-Powell Society.also donate and raise money for WAGGGS programs and operations.

Administration 11%

We are an operating Board with one part-time paid administrator and an assistant during the last triennium. This has kept administrative costs to a minimum.

Fundraising Growth

Our organization depends on volunteer fundraisers committed to providing international experiences for girls and young women to learn leadership skills and develop projects to improve their communities and the world. Our volunteers either donate themselves or reach out to friends and family or both. They also create events such as teas, luncheons, cooking classes and dance programs.
