The Girl Scout organization in Iran was known as Dokhtarān-e Pīshāhang-e Īrān () or Fereshtegān-e Pīshāhang-e Īrān, (, literally Angel Scouts of Iran). The Iranian Scouting Girl Scout Section is a former member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, last mentioned in 1979.انتشارات دفتر مخصوص شهبانو، تهران، ۱۳۵۴، ص. ۷۱
Girl Guiding may again be making inroads into Iran, as in 1993 a reception was held in Manila, Philippines in conjunction with WAGGGS' Asia Pacific Symposium of NGOs for Women in Development. The aim was to introduce or reintroduce the Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting movement and to explore possibilities of starting/restarting Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting in Iran, as well as Cambodia, Tibet, Russia, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. Fifty women leaders from those nations attended the Asia Pacific Symposium, sharing their Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting experiences.
The emblems used over time reflect a shift from a monarchist government to an Islamic one.
