GGCI is a branch association of the largest female organisation in the world, stated a press release, and “works towards the positive development of girls and young women in the Cayman Islands”.
The organisation helps girls gain life skills, by teaching them leadership and values as they take part in fun activities, the release said, adding, “The girls engage as they build their confidence, discover their full potential and make a positive difference in our community.”
Girls can join Girlguiding from age 5 in the Rainbow section and then move up through Brownies, Guides and Rangers.
