Membership is sought by several different types of people. Some have been involved in Guiding, some have had little or no Guiding involvement, but choose this route for some of their philanthropy focused on the development of girls and young women.
Membership is gained by a single donation, which may be delivered over five years, or through a legacy or a life insurance policy. Funds are invested through the WAGGGS investment and finance processes (an international UK registered charity), and the interest is available to WAGGGS for its work. Members can join at any time.
