What's in a WAGGGS Symbol?

Learn the many parts of the World Badge and World Flag

A new version of the World Badge, which every member may wear, was introduced in 1991. Every part has a meaning, and the symbolism has not changed from the original design of the World Trefoil.

The interactive image below explains the symbolism, part by part.

The World Flag

A new World Flag was also introduced in 1991. Units may still carry the old one.

The three golden/orange squares on the flag represent our threefold Promise.

The white blaze in the corner is a symbol of world-wide peace which all Guides and Girl Scouts work for in their families, communities and the wider world.
