Development of the Movement

Guiding in Swaziland started in 1924, but it was only in 1950 after a visit from the World Chief Guide that it really began to spread throughout the country. In 1961 the Association was registered as a Branch Association of the Guide Association (UK). The Ranger section was organised in 1963, and a Cadet company was formed five years later in one of the two training colleges in Swaziland.

The Wayfarers, an organisation for African girls working on similar lines to the Guide Association, was also active in Swaziland and soon joined the Guides to form one Movement for all girls in Swaziland. In 1968 girls under ten became known as Blue Jays and the following year the Guide Association (UK) signed a deed of transfer making the Swaziland Girl Guides Association self-governing in all areas.
