Building on our strong foundation spanning 100 years and more as a global movement, GGS continues to empower our members to be their best, to push boundaries and achieve outstanding things.

It all started in 1909 at the first Boy Scout Rally held in London. A handful of very determined girls gate-crashed the event to put forward a request to Robert Baden-Powell – the founder of the Boy Scouts – to have ‘something for the girls’. In 1910, the Girl Guides Association was formally founded.

The Girl Guide Movement started in Singapore in 1917, as a District of the Malayan Association of Girl Guides. Over the years, Guiding has developed into a dynamic and vibrant organisation, evolving to meet the changing needs of our girls and enabling our Guiding members to make significant contributions to our nation and the communities in the ever-changing world around us.
