The word Sangam means "coming together," and since it opened in 1966, girls and young women have come together at Sangam to share Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting experiences and their cultures. Sangam is located in India, a country which has the greatest diversity of culture, language, and ethnic groups of any in the world. The earliest-known civilization in India dates to 2500 BC. Pune, where Sangam is based, has visible remnants of many past civilizations, all ready to be explored.

The mission of Sangam is to provide international opportunities for training and self-growth in a cross-cultural environment. International events, focusing on global issues, Indian life and culture, and a broader knowledge of Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting throughout the world are held each year with participants from many different countries. Come together with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and have your life be forever changed.
