The Mission of  Guiding is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Guide Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in the society. The Guide movement  strives to develop its members emotionally, socially, mentally/intellectually, physically and spiritually so that they can make a positive contribution to their communities and the wider world.

A Guide is a friend to all and a sister to every other Guide. She is courteous, a friend to animals and loves nature. A Guide is disciplined and helps to protect public property. She is courageous too.

The Girl guiding movement encourages awareness of healthy eating and the importance of exercise throughout the time that young people are part of their organization.  This is always done in an encouraging, non-judgmental way with recognition that not all members will want to partake in all activities

Guiding is an approved type of character training & preparation for good citizenship designed for the benefit of boys and girls, which insists a sense of responsibility and trustworthiness affording individual opportunities for developing initiative and leadership and promotes self-control.

Guiding is fun with a purpose, directing, helping boys and girls become happy, healthy ,useful citizens. scouting complements the school , education, family, filling needs not met by either. Guiding develops self-knowledge and the need to explore, to discover, world beyond the classroom, tapping the skills of others to learn and to become well- rounded people.

The Guide Promise – Girls become Guides by making their Promise. Each country has its own Promise, but historically all have the same three parts: duty to God or to your beliefs, duty to your country and keeping the Guide Law.

Guides do a kind thing for someone else, without payment and without being asked, every day.

The badge usually called the World Badge can be worn on uniform or ordinary clothes. The three leaves of the trefoil stand for the threefold Promise. The vein in the centre is a compass needle, pointing the way and the two stars stand for the Promise and the Law. The colours stand for the golden sun shining over all the children of the world, from a blue sky. This badge is a guiding symbol that can be recognized all over the world.

The Flag is in the same colours as the World Badge and can be carried or flown by any member of the movement. It is often used as the Unit Flag. The three yellow blocks represent the threefold Promise and the white corner represents the commitment to peace of all members.

The Sign  includes  three fingers which  stand for the three parts of the Promise. The Guide sign is used when making or renewing the Promise and can be used when meeting other Guides. It may also be used when receiving a badge or at the end of meetings.

The Motto – "Be Prepared" – This means that Guides are ready to cope with anything that might come their way.

The left handshake – This is the way members of the Movement greet each other. The left hand is the one nearest the heart, so symbolizing friendship. Additionally, warriors held their shield in the left hand, so putting down your shield means that you are vulnerable, making it a display of both bravery and trust.

On February 22 each year, Guides think of their Guide sisters all around the world. The date was chosen at a World Conference because it was the birthday of both the Founder and the World Chief Guide.

Two central themes have been present from the earliest days of the movement: domestic skills and  a kind of practical feminism which embodies physical fitness, survival skills, camping, citizenship training & career preparation.

These two themes have been emphasized differently at different times and by different groups, but have remained central to Girl Guiding. The Guide sign is used when making or renewing the Promise and can be used when meeting other Guides. It may also be used when receiving a badge or at the end of meetings.

Students need Career guidance and Counseling in order to achieve optimum gains in their varied life situations.

The programme will help students to see a variety of available academic options that would help them through their preferred learning styles and  to find how to develop plans to reach their educational and occupational goals.

Students need Career guidance and Counseling in order to achieve optimum gains in their varied life situations.

It is therefore clear that without career guidance, students miss out on “what to do” and “where to go” after completing their secondary education.

Good career guidance therefore plays a critical role in preparing students for the world of work by equipping them with the skills to remain relevant in the global economy and lead purposeful lives. Research has shown that career planning programmers can positively impact academic performance leading to optimal education and career decisions.
