OUR HISTORY

In the early 1900s Robert Baden-Powell, a famous British Army general, developed a scheme for training boys. At the Scouts’ first rally in 1909, a group of girls demanded to be Scouts too. In 1910, Baden-Powell formed the Girl Guides. His sister Agnes was assigned to look after the new organisation. 

​

Guiding originally began in the Cayman Islands in the 1930s, led by a Commissioner's wife. The Cayman Islands Branch Association status known officially as “Girlguiding Cayman Islands” was granted in 1987.  As of April 2020 Branch Associations form part of British Girlguiding Overseas.

​

Today Girlguiding Cayman Islands continues to be very active with Units on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac.
