SHARJAH: The Sharjah Girl Guides (SGG), an exemplary chapter of the UAE Girl Guides, concluded its Future Leaders Camp with the participation of 50 girls on Thursday. Held at SGG’s premises in Al Badea, Sharjah from Dec 21 to 25, the camp was sponsored by Emirates Transport and organic food restaurant Musk.
“Camping is a fantastic way to introduce young girls to leadership. It teaches them how to be independent and self-sufficient, and how to work as part of a team,” said Shaikha Al Shamsi, Assistant Manager at SGG.
“It is also a fundamental activity in scouting, which is a non-profit movement that supports youths in their physical and mental development so that they may play constructive roles in society.”
Both Guides (girls aged 12 to 15) and Brownies (girls aged 7 to 11) participated in the Future Leaders Camp. The programme covered a variety of self-awareness activities and camping skills, showing the girls tomake a temporary shelter, build a tent, prepare food in an outdoor environment, and apply first aid. They then set up a campsite with the help of their team leaders.
