Guides Mark WAGGGS’ Diamond Date

Bandar Seri Begawan – The Brunei Darussalam Girl Guides Association held a forum and workshop yesterday to mark the 75 years of establishment of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).

The forum, which was attended by participants of the International Peace Camp 2003, was held at the Youth Village of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) has chosen the principle: “Our rights, our responsibilities to live in peace” as foundation in planning their programmes or members’ activities for the year 2002 - 2005.

Dayang Hajah Intan, Director of Anti-Corruption Bureau, chaired the forum. Two panellists at the forum were Awang Haji Sumaidi, Special Duty Officer at Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, and Dayang Hajah Shireen, Deputy Director of Narcotic Control Bureau.

The forum selected the theme “Peace in development”, emphasising that peace should first begin at home before experiencing it at school and community institution.
