http://www.wagggsworld.org/en/about/100years

>From 2010 to 2012, 10 million girls and young women are invited to join in the celebrations of the birth of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.

So why are we celebrating for three years? These years mark the 100th birthday of Girl Guiding, which was founded in the UK in 1910, and the 100th birthday of Girls Scouting, which was founded in the USA in 1912.

Many more countries founded Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting between 1910 and 1912:

Founded in 1910: Canada, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom
Founded in 1911: Australia, Bangladesh (then part of India), India, Ireland, Netherlands, Pakistan (then part of India)
Founded in 1912: Cyprus, Italy, Norway, United States of America, Zimbabwe

During the three year period from 2010-2012, all of WAGGGS' activities will come under the banner of the centenary theme.
