Synopsis
*The girl guides are under going organizational change. Different tier of membership. Subscribed to the belief that "once a guide always a guide" but is concerned about for the cost borne by the organisation. With most members, membership is not voluntary as teachers guiders tend to be appointed by their superiors. She aspires for members to associate themselves with the girl guides not just for work purposes. These members would be guiders by choice rather than by compulsion. There are plans for awards for guide leaders. She had many mentors and role models through the years that she had been involved in girl guide activities.
