[1] Founded in 1915, the girls-only organisation became an associate member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1963 and a full member in 1966.

Girl Guiding was introduced to Jamaica by Miss Clare Messias in 1915.

After Jamaica's independence in 1962, the Jamaican Girl Guides remained a branch of the United Kingdom's Guide Association until July 17, 1967, when the Girl Guides Association of Jamaica was incorporated.

[2] A scission of the association led to the formation of the Girl Scouts of Jamaica in 2008.
