GGAT Goals
• To continuously increase the number of volunteer membership and young women in leadership levels.
• To develop an innovative approach in order to increase the number of young women and girls and strengthen the quality of girl guiding at all levels.
• To create opportunities for girls and young women to voice their opinions at decision making levels.
![Page 26: GGAT Basic Leader Training Slides](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103114/555381d8b4c905da528b53c7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Girl Guiding provides…
• A safe, all-girl environment free from gender stereotypes
• Opportunities for girls to make decisions using the girl/adult planning process
• Opportunities to develop full individual potential
• Opportunities for girls to use their talents to give back to their families and communities
![Page 27: GGAT Basic Leader Training Slides](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103114/555381d8b4c905da528b53c7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Adults as Role Models
• Say to girls "Do as I do."– The Girl Guide Promise and Law are the very heart of
Girl Guiding. – If the girls observe adults treating each other in a
sincere, polite, and professional manner, the hope is that they will emulate this behavior toward each other.
• To be good role models and mentors, adults in Girl Guiding must display behaviors they wish girls to use. – Remember, the Gold Rule applies to everyone,
regardless of age: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
![Page 28: GGAT Basic Leader Training Slides](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103114/555381d8b4c905da528b53c7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Girl Guide PromiseOn my honour I promise:• To do my duty to my
country, my religion and the King;
• To help other people at all times;
• To obey the Guide Law
*The Promise is adapted appropriately for younger program age levels.
![Page 29: GGAT Basic Leader Training Slides](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022103114/555381d8b4c905da528b53c7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What Are We Promising?• To do my duty to my country, my religion and the King
What is a “duty”?
What if someone is not a member of any organized religion?
What is one’s duty to the King?
Do foreign ex-patriates living in Thailand have a duty to the King?
• For most girls there will be no change in the way they recite the Promise. Girl Guiding encourages respect for the nationality, ethnicity, and spiritual beliefs of others.

Make the Promise, Live the Law
• The Promise and Law are the Ethical Code in Girl Guiding! – Everything we say and do should be modeled after the
Promise and the Law.• When would be an appropriate time to recite the
Promise and Law?– Troop meeting openings or closings– At special ceremonies and events– As part of a flag ceremony– Anytime we need a reminder or guidance in how to
proceed

GGAT’s 10-Point Program
Almost every award girls earn, every event they attend, every service project they do, every
camping trip they experience will help girls grow in at least one of these areas, and many times in
multiple areas simultaneously.
