The Girl Guides Association of Antigua and Barbuda is the Guiding organization of Antigua and Barbuda. It serves 718 members (as of 2003). Founded in 1931, the girls-only organization became an associate member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1984 and a full member in 2002.
The Girl Guide Association of Antigua and Barbuda belongs to the Caribbean Link. At the introduction of the West Indies political federation, the Antigua association linked with other Caribbean associations. Although the West Indies Federation was undone, the Girl Guide Associations' link remains.
The association is divided in five sections according to age:[1]
I promise that I will do my best:
To do my duty to God
To serve the Queen and my country and help other people
And to keep the Guide Law.
The Peggy Rodgers Fund was set up in memory of a Guiding Island Commissioner. It assists with the training and development of Guides and has sent them to overseas Guiding events.[2]
Dame Nellie Robinson was a pioneer of Guiding in Antigua.[3]
In 2001, the Guides were involved in a composting pilot project with the Antigua National Solid Waste Management Authority.[4]
