Development of the Movement

Guiding started in Barbados in 1918 when Governor O‘Brien assumed duties, bringing with him two daughters who had been enrolled as Guides shortly before leaving England. Lady O‘Brien became the first Island Commissioner and, until her departure in 1925, a room at Government House was used as headquarters.

The permanent headquarters, built on a plot of land acquired in 1949, were opened by the World Chief Guide, Lady Baden Powell on 15 March, 1964.

The first National Assembly was held in 1968, and Assemblies are held at regular intervals. A Junior Council was established in 1976, with one young leader from each district providing a communications link at national level.
