The Guides’ season this year has been full of exploring and picking up new skills, and that is what the season motto says: “Wild outside, Strong inside”. The motto comes in two halves. The wild outside half covers three sides — creativity, winning, challenges & adventures — and the other half, strong inside, covers three more: positive attitude, responsibility/leadership and teamwork. Together they help the girls discover more of themselves, in character and in skills, accept differences, and take on a spirit of adventure and responsibility.

The troop

The troop now has 17 members, aged from 12 to 16. It is led by Assistant Leader Carol Moheb and Assistant Leader Christian Emad, with Rita Tarek in training.
