There are many opportunities to attend international events run by the United Nations or other non-governmental organizations (NGO) on behalf of the Association.

The World Organization of the Scout Movement and WAGGGS both have General Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

The key components of the WAGGGS' non-formal education are that: Each Guide/Girl Scout defines her own progress and development according to her needs and aspirations within the framework program provided.

This contrasts with many formal education systems where young people must fit themselves into a rigid structure with little recognition of individual needs and differences.

Amongst its global initiatives, Free Being Me, a collaboration between WAGGGS and Unilever's Dove Self Esteem Project, was launched in October 2013 with the aim of increasing "self-esteem and body confidence" in girls.

From 1930 to 1939 WAGGGS occupied a room at the headquarters of the British Girl Guide Association, until it moved to 9 Palace Street, next door to Our Ark.

In 1920, two leaders from each known Guide country were invited to the British County Commissioners Conference held at Saint Hugh's College, Oxford.

Each WAGGGS Member Organization chooses how it believes it can best promote these goals, taking into account its culture and the needs of its young people.

WAGGGS operates five World Centers that offer training programmes, activities, and lodging for girls and leaders, as well as members of some other groups and independent travellers.

Activities are primarily focused on international friendship and cooperation, personal development, and leadership training, enjoyment and service.

Unlike the other centers, it will be a roving centre and exist for a fixed period of time in different places with a particular theme in Africa.
