Development of the Movement
Guiding in the United Arab Emirates began in 1973 when Girl Guide companies were opened in Sharjah. In the same year the first training for 30 leaders was run by the Arab Training Commissioner and Guiding has since spread to all seven Emirates.
The Girl Guides Association of the United Arab Emirates was officially registered with the Government in 1979. Guiding has now reached all educational sectors, including the University, and efforts are being made to extend the Movement to rural areas.
