Pich Chanmony, general commissioner of the Girl Guides Association of Cambodia (GGAC), highlighted the increased efforts of the GGAC delegates that led to a successful vote-gathering campaign at the 38th conference.

The event took place in Cyprus from July 26-31, culminating in Cambodia being awarded the rights to host the 39th World Conference of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in 2026.

Speaking at a press conference at Phnom Penh International Airport upon her return from Cyprus, Chanmony was eager to share the good news.

“There were many factors that contributed to GGAC’s success,” she explained. “Our working group was resolute in our mission. We gained strong support from GGAC members and, crucially, the Cambodian public. This culminated in our significant achievement”.

Chanmony underscored the advantages of hosting the World Conference, which brings together representatives from 169 nations.

She recalled how, upon the announcement in Cyprus that Cambodia would be the host of the 39th World Conference of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 2026, each participating country proudly hoisted the Cambodian flag. To her, this act demonstrated their increased awareness and understanding of Cambodia.

Chanmony mentioned that the World Conference occurs every three years, with members of the WAGGGS sending youth representatives.
