The WAGGGS Europe Region is the regional office of the
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
.
History
All the formerly communist states of Central and
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.
This region is the counterpart of the European Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). The Europe Region WAGGGS has strong connections to the European Region of WOSM. Both maintained a joined office in Brussels for some years and published a monthly newsletter called Eurofax. Currently the two regions run the joint communication platform 'WEConnect'.[2]
Post-Soviet nations are divided between the WAGGGS-Europe Region and the WAGGGS-Asia Pacific Region.
