The Bahamas Girl Guides Association-On the Road to 100 Years Former Chief Commissioner and current Chief Trainer for The Bahamas Girl Guides Association, Elma Garraway, addressed Rotarians of the Nassau Sunrise club this past Thursday. She took the Rotarians down memory lane with her vivid recollection of the organization’s early days and the initiative leaders before her took to encourage involvement of girls from all walks of life. The organization, which will celebrate 100 years October 8, 2015, has organized numerous activities. Mrs. Garraway highlighted the scale and scope of ongoing activities by the local organization. A monumental activity includes the groundbreaking ceremony of its new headquarters. It is reported that the building will cost $1.2 million. The new headquarters, which will be built to commemorate the organization’s 100-year anniversary next year, will replace the current building, which leaders say the organization has outgrown. The new facility will include meeting rooms, office spaces, training areas, and accommodations for girl guides visiting from other countries and other essential working areas. An educator at heart, Mrs. Garraway emphasized the value of investing in the young girls and implored the Rotarians to commit to a lifelong partnership with The Bahamas Girl Guides Association to continue mentoring and empowering young girls to maximize their potential.
