The Kuwait Girl Guides Association (Arabic: الإتحاد الكويتي للفتيات المرشدات) (KGGA) is the national Guiding organization of Kuwait. The association has 9,715 members (as of 2003). Founded in 1957, the girls-only organization became a full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in 1966.
Girls are organised into groups by age, as in other Guiding and Scouting organisations. Brownies are between age 7 and 11. Girl Guides are between age 12 and 16. Senior Girl Guides are between age 17 and 23.
The Girl Guide emblem incorporates elements of the coat of arms of Kuwait.
