Development of the Movement

In 1931 the first two Guide companies in Antigua were registered with The Guide Association (UK), a step that was rapidly followed by an expansion in the number of units. The Tweenie section was the last to be formed in the 1980s to satisfy the needs of the 3-6 years age group.

Two visits from the World Chief Guide, and contact with trainers from The Guide Association (UK) in the following years helped to boost the development of the Movement. In 1969 the first trainer from the islands officially qualified and this led to the development of residential trainings for Guide leaders.

In 1983 The Guide Association (UK) approved a deed of transfer making the Girl Guides Association of Antigua and Barbuda self-governing in all areas of work.

In 1998, a new era began, as the second Chief Commissioner since Associate Membership was installed. A new phase began in 2002 as the Association achieved Full Membership.
