The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) was formed in May of 1928 at the 5th International Congress in Pared, Hungary.

The WAGGGS badge (pin) design was adopted in 1948 at the 12th World Conference in New York for use by all members, if they wished. The design was in use on the WAGGGS flag since 1930. The design was crafted by Kari Aas of Norway. Currently, the World Association pin is worn by all registered members. The traditional blue and gold are familiar to all Girl Scouts.

The gold trefoil on a blue background represents the sun shining on children everywhere, the base gold stalk is the flame of the love of humanity, the upward pointing vein is a compass needle pointing the way. The two stars are the Promise and Law, the flowing line around the trefoil is for the worldwide movement.

The pin shown is the "World Association Badge". Page 16 of the 1958 addition of the "Trefoil Around the World" book states that this pin or badge is worn only by members of the World Committee and its sub-committees, the staff of the World Bureau and its Branch Office, the Guiders in charge of the World Centers and others who carry out special duties for the World Association. The blue circle is a constant reminder that those who wear this badge work for the world and not only for their own countries. It was approved at the Seventh World Conference in 1932. There is a black and white drawing along side the information.
