Development of the Movement

The first Guide company started in the former East African State of Tanganyika in 1928, but it was not until 1935 that Guiding became firmly established, following the visit in the same year of the Founder and the World Chief Guide. In 1938 a territorial council and local Association were formed, and from 1940 to 1950 Guiding spread to all areas of the country. The first executive committee was formed in 1957. In 1964 the independent states of Tanganyika and Zanzibar united as the United Republic of Tanzania, and the Association was renamed.
