“She used to hear only on guiding but not knowing exactly what it was about. She understood guiding is fun more than anything else. She was able to tie a knot and at the same time she became a teacher to the other patrols. She had never thought she could be able to prepare a patients bed. She enjoyed that and got confidence. She learnt on Preparing camping fire and gadgets. She understood that being in a camp as a guide , you not have to make noise, its only using various signs in communication. It was fun and very enjoyable.

In conclusion a girl guide should be prepared at any time for anything”
