Development of the Movement

Guiding began in Hong Kong in 1916 when a Girl Guide company was formed at the Victoria British School. An Association was organized and registered as a Branch Association of the Guide Association (UK) in 1919.

Membership had increased steadily by that time, but suffered a major setback when Guiding activities were forbidden during the Second World War. Members continued to meet, however, and kept the spirit of Guiding alive. In 1948 a rally was held in the grounds of Government House and in the same year the Association was invited to join the newly-formed Social Welfare Department. This marked the beginning of the Movement’s involvement in social welfare in Hong Kong. In 1970 the Association adopted the Eight Point Programme. Handbooks and other reference material were produced in English and Chinese.

In 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Guiding continued to flourish. In 2000, policy for uniformed groups came under the Home Affairs Bureau Youth Development subvention programme.
