GIRL GUIDING IN GUYANA

BRIEF HISTORY

Guiding began in Guyana then British Guiana in 1922 and the movement was officially registered as a Branch Association of the Guide Association (UK) in 1924. By 1927 the Association had its own headquarters in Georgetown and by 1932 two Ranger companies were in operation.

Guyana’s programme was based on eight points: keeping fit, becoming a homemaker, giving service, keeping the Guide Law, getting to know people, enjoying the outdoors, thinking for yourself and exploring the arts. The programme now used is based on the development areas: Moral, Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Social and Spiritual

The association became a full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in 1969.
