Europe Region (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts)

The WAGGGS Europe Region is the regional office of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, which supports Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting in Europe, including the former Soviet Republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine, as well as Cyprus and Israel.

All the formerly communist states of Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have developed or are developing Guiding in the wake of the renaissance in the region.

These include Albania, Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the successor states to Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and the Baltic nations independent of the former Soviet Union.

Of these, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary have been most successful in regrowing their Guide movements and are very well-developed, thanks in part to the existence of Guides-in-Exile movements for the diaspora of each nation.

Both maintained a joined office in Brussels for some years and published a monthly newsletter called Eurofax.
