A release from the Girl Guides Association of St Vincent and the Grenadines states that the ceremony was held under the theme “Guiding Traditions; New Beginnings” to recognise the formal acceptance of 30 girls to the Girl Guiding sisterhood in SVG. The local Association is a part of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts’ 10,000,000- member family in 152 countries across the world.

Among other activities, the newly enrolled girl guides, completed scores of hours completing community service projects, learning the basics about sign language and morse code, participating in several other varied outdoor activities which included but were not limited to outdoor cooking, hikes, breast cancer awareness initiatives, and campaigns to end violence against women and girls to help the girl guides develop their fullest potential to contribute meaningfully to the development of their country and world.
