The Girl Guides Association of Dominica (GGAD) has issued a nationwide call to action, urging current members and alumni alike to participate in an island-wide demonstration of unity this Thursday. The event, designated as Guide Day, represents a significant mobilization of the Guiding community across the Caribbean nation.
According to the official announcement, participants are encouraged to wear their complete traditional uniforms or alternative Guide T-shirts throughout the day—whether attending workplaces, educational institutions, or conducting daily activities. This sartorial demonstration aims to create visible solidarity across Dominica while honoring the historical significance of World Thinking Day within the national context.
The association emphasizes the timeless guiding principle of “Once a Guide, always a Guide” as foundational to the event’s philosophy. Beyond sartorial participation, the organization encourages digital engagement through social media sharing. Participants are invited to photograph themselves in uniform and post using the dedicated hashtag #GGADGuideDay, creating a digital archive of collective participation.
The visual transformation of Dominica into “a sea of blue and brown”—referencing the organization’s signature colors—serves as both metaphorical and literal representation of unity. This chromatic demonstration seeks to visually reinforce the organization’s presence and values across the island’s diverse landscapes.
This coordinated effort simultaneously serves multiple purposes: demonstrating organizational solidarity, commemorating international Guiding traditions, and inspiring future generations of community leaders through visible representation of Guiding principles in daily life.
