SELECTION OF VALUES

• Fundamental
Principles
• Repositioning of
WAGGGS
 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
• Defined at the 21st World Conference in Canada,
1972
“The essence of Duty to God is the acknowledgment of
the necessity for a search for a faith in God, in a
Supreme Being, and the acknowledgment of a Force
higher than man, of the highest Spiritual Principles.”
“The essence of Duty to Country is the acceptance of
the concept of responsibility to the communities in which
we live.”
“The essence of Service is the acceptance of the
practice of helpfulness to others.”
“The essence of the Law is: Duty to others and to the
Brotherhood of Man; Self-discipline; Respect for all
living things.”
The essence of Duty to God encompasses all world
faiths represented in the World Association.
The essence of Duty to Country takes account of the
individual’s responsibility as a member of her
community.
The essence of Service has expanded to include
projects of mutual aid, co-operation with other
organisations, exchanges of ideas and personnel – all
made possible by improved means of communication.
The essence of the Law illustrates the response of the
World Association to more recently identified problems.
Today “respect for all living things” includes all that
concerns human life, such as environmental problems,
drug abuse and sexual responsibility.
