More about Girl Guides

Girl Guides work together in Patrols. We elect our own Patrol Leaders and plan our own activities to eusure the total development of our girls.

The Guide Promise to us is very crucial and it is the pivot behind Girl Guiding:

I promise to do my best,
To do my duty to God,
To serve my country
and help other people,
and to keep the Guide Law


We also follow the 10 Guide Laws:
1. A Guide is loyal and can be trusted
2. A Guide is useful and helps others
3. A Guide is polite, considerate and respects her elders
4. A Guide is friendly and a sister to all Guides
5. A Guide is kind to all living things
6. A Guide is obedient
7. A Guide has courage and is cheerful in all difficulties
8. A Guide takes care of her own possessions and those of other people
9. A Guide Is thrifty and diligent
10. A Guide is self-disciplined in what she thinks, says and does
