In her royal address, Her Majesty said OB-PS is a fundraising arm of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), and Malaysia contributes to the organisation following the recruitment of many new members in the country.

"Whatever is donated to us (OB-PS) goes back to the world to train young women and girls to be able to voice out, stand on their own (and) to be the future leaders of the future generations.

"I hope this conference encourages investment, education, and resources to help girls contribute to a brighter and more equitable future for everyone,” Her Majesty said.

OB-PS conference is held annually to gather its members with common interests to provide financial support to WAGGGS and ensure a steady stream of income which funds its work, projects, programmes and services.

This year’s conference, which is held for the first time in Malaysia since 1998, aims to celebrate and support the WAGGGS and discuss the growth and development of young women as well as empower them to become future leaders of the world.

With the theme "Changemakers - Young Women”, the conference, which began on Thursday (Oct 12), was held across two venues, namely Resorts World Genting, here (Oct 12 to 14) and Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur (Oct 14 to 16).

The four-day conference gathered more than 360 participants from 17 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, United States of America, Nigeria, Korea and Japan.

The Princess Benedikte of Denmark, who is the patron of OB-PS, is also attending the conference today and will personally present over 140 awards, which include the Princess Benedikte Award (PBA) as well as new OB-PS Members, Gold, Global and President Awards.- Bernama
