Chief Scout Lord Baden Powell said, “Don’t stick in the mud because the others stick there. Look for your stepping stones and make your way out of it”.
In the words of the Chief Scout, the aim of the girl guiding is character development towards happy citizenship, through natural rather than artificial means.
The main aim of guiding is leadership. The development of leadership is an important test of Guide Company. Right leadership must be service motivated and executive minded. The work of the Guide company should be so organized that every girl has an opportunity to exercise leadership and rise up to every occasion.
With this attitude our guide company started in the year 1980 with a company of 32 guides and 12 bulbuls by our dedicated and beloved Sr. Adeline. Our Guide Company actively participated in various girl guide programmes, such as camps, rallys, camporee & jamboree awareness programmes like health, safety rule and use of plastics all through the year.
In the year 1981, 20 of our guides attended District Rally held at Bharathiya Vidhyala.
