[edit] Logo
The 33rd World Conference logo combines the WAGGGS logo and the South African Guides chosen pattern.[1] The Girl Guides Association of South Africa wanted to portray their African dream and the sense of unity of all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Ten lines within the logo symbolise the ten Laws shared by Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The three triangles symbolise the threefold Promise. The M shape symbolises the global challenges facing Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting that can be overcome through unity.
[edit] Theme
The conference's theme is "Join in, reach out, change lives".
