Association des Guides du Tchad

Girl Guiding in Chad started as a result of colonization under French Equatorial Africa.

Between 1956 and 1957, nuns from the French order Sœurs de la Sainte Croix de Jérusalem, who had settled in the north of the country, began to lead a group of Guides in Guera, and gradually, as evangelization spread to the central and southern parts of the country, the Girl Guide movement developed.

Today Girl Guiding can be found in the regions where there are religious communities, such as Doba, Moundou and N'Djamena, and recently in Sarh, Goré and Laï.

The Association des Guides du Tchad serves girls aged from six to 17 years.

The association has a headquarters building on land given by the Girl Scouts of Japan.
