  • The YESS Girls Movement has deliberate connections to other WAGGGS Global Programmes including the World Thinking Day, Free Being Me, Nutrition International, Surf Smart, the New Leadership Offer, Financial Literacy, Arlen Barlow and the Leadership and Sustainability.
  • Likewise, Nepal Scouts plan to continue undertaking all the YESS Activities beyond the funded period.
