" I’ve made some wonderful friends and met people from all over the world through guiding. It’s fantastic! "
Welcome
On behalf of Girlguiding London and South East England (LaSER) it is my pleasure to welcome you all to our website, in this Girlguiding’s Centenary year! It is hard to believe that 100 years ago, a small group of girls gate crashing a Boy Scout Rally at Crystal Palace & asking Robert Baden Powell for ‘Something for the girls’, would lead to a worldwide organisation with over 10 million members in 145 countries.

Guiders were privileged to be invited to apply for the above trip during the summer due to it being our centenary year. Out of 19 contingents there were 6 LASER Guiders from Kent, Sussex and London. The trip was organised by Roger Cole and each participant given some pre trip research to do.
We arrived in Muscat on 24th and spent our first night at a residential scout camp. We were looked after during the week by Khamis, Zain and Maitha who stayed with us at the camp.
