The Greek Guiding Association (Template:Lang-el, ΣΕΟ) is the national Guiding association of Greece. Guiding in Greece started in 1932 and became a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in 1933. The coeducational organization has 10,682 members (as of 2008).[1]
History
The first Guide units were established in 1932. Only one year later, in 1933, SEO became an associate member of WAGGGS. During World War II the movement fell inactive, bur it was revived in 1945. In 1948 it advanced to full membership with WAGGGS.
The association started special groups for girls with disabilities in 1951; since 1995, children with special needs are integrated in all units.
The 1990s saw a general overhaul of the organization's program: the organization opened for boys and a new branch for pre-school-age children was introduced – the Asteria (Stars).
