Atmosphere

Each of the four world centers offers an informal atmosphere that encourages interaction among visitors, who are expected to contribute to the daily operation of the facility. As space in these facilities is limited, they ask that visitors bring only essential items.

Gifts

Sometimes visitors bring gifts to the world centers, or contact the center before the visit to find out what is needed to maintain operations. Although monetary donations to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund cannot be exclusively designated for a purpose, they will help add to the funds that support the work of the centers.

Dress

Informal dress is generally acceptable. For particular sessions, ceremonies or events, participants may be required to wear an official Girl Scout uniform or a camp uniform.
