– with steady Leadership and Strong Commitment.
Olivia doesn’t seek the spotlight— she focuses on getting things done. With one term already behind her, she brings experience, trusted leadership, and a deep understanding of what member organisations really need. Olivia’s journey is international, but always personal. She represents a Europe where diversity, dedication, and reflected determination can change the world.
Nominated by Scouterna (/ The Guides and Scouts of Sweden) in Sweden and shaped by years of grassroots Guiding and international cooperation, she’s ready to continue building a Europe where every girl feels seen, heard, and empowered to lead. Reflected and powerful. Deeply committed. A force to be reckoned with.
"Olivia is the kind of leader who guides her decisions with deep reflection and commitment to her values and the perspectives she carries."
Karin Fredén, International Commissioner, ScouternaThis here is Olivia Solman! She is a long-standing member of The Guides and Scouts of Sweden, has been officially announced as a candidate for re-election to the Europe Region Committee of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). She put her hand up to be re-elected. With a first term marked by dedication, integrity, and a strong focus on the needs of member organisations, Olivia is seeking a second term on the WAGGGS Europe Region Committee to continue working towards a stronger, more inclusive, and girl-led Region. How awesome is that?
Olivia grew up in the rural areas of Sweden, close to nature and her local scout group. Her thirst for knowledge and adventure however has lead her across the globe both with her studies and of course with WAGGGS and Scouterna. All these experiences had created a strong track record of focused, behind-the-scenes leadership, Olivia brings what the region needs: clear priorities, member-first thinking, and an unwavering belief in a girl-led future/youth-led future.

“I am committed to contributing actively to the 2025–2028 Regional Committee and the realization of Compass 2032. My vision is to build a resilient, relevant, and connected Europe Region that empowers Member Organisations to thrive despite ongoing challenges. By strengthening opportunities for learning, exchange, and collaboration, we can ensure that young people across Europe continue to grow through Guiding and Scouting. I believe in the importance of international friendships, shared values, and the global impact of WAGGGS. With the skills and experience I bring, I aim to foster stronger links between MOs, the Europe Region, and the wider WAGGGS movement. Together, we can build a visible, impactful, and united Region—because we are all WAGGGS.”
