When a party makes a promise to another, either within or outside the context of a contract, where that. promise places an obligation on the party but where that party does not receive anything in return (no. consideration), then the promise is said to be gratuitous.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) has World Centers in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Mexico, India, and Africa. Our Cabaña, located 47 miles from Mexico City, is a beautiful retreat in historic Cuernavaca.

Original promise is a promise to answer for the debt of another, because it is made to sub serve or promote an interest or purpose of the promisor and upon a consideration beneficial to him. Original promise is a promise which is not within the statute of frauds.

More simply put, equitable estoppel is generally words or conduct which cause another person to believe a certain state of things exists and to consequently change his or her position in an adverse way.

The word ‘gratuitous’ means ‘free of cost’ or ‘without expecting any return’. It can, therefore, be inferred that a gratuitous promise will not result in an agreement in the absence of consideration. For instance, a promise to subscribe to a charitable cause cannot be enforced.

As my Contracts professor used to explain to our first year law school class, the difference between a binding contract and a gratuitous promise is the existence, or lack of, consideration. The difference is that the professor would not be receiving anything in exchange for payment.

As per section 2(e) every promise and every set of promises forming consideration for each other is called an agreement. A promise is an accepted proposal.

An International Family Through its membership in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a worldwide family of 10 million girls and adults in 146 countries.

WAGGGS

Girl Guides (known as Girl Scouts in the United States and some other countries) is a movement found worldwide, which was originally and still largely designed for girls and women only. There are now more than 10 million members worldwide.

In 1937, 11-year-old Elizabeth was registered as a Guide and her younger sister, Margaret, was registered as a Brownie. Their mother, Elizabeth, also joined the Girl Guides Association and later became a patron. To help the girls earn their challenge badges, the Palace created the 1st Buckingham Palace Guide Company.

Girl Scouts USA does not accept boys. Boy Scouts of America has accepted women in several programs since the 1970s. The change in policy allows girls to join the Cub Scouts and the program known as Boy Scouts, known internationally as Scouts.

Yes – you’ll still have your unit Leaders and Young Leaders. Can boys join now? When we asked girls like you what they’d like, they told us they wanted Girlguiding to still be just for girls. So no boys allowed!

Boys who identify as female will now be allowed to join the Girl Guides, Brownies and Rainbows as part of radical changes to the organisation’s single-sex policy, it has emerged.

Whether your daughter wants to join Rainbows (5-7), Brownies (7-10), Guides (10-14) or Rangers (14-18), start her Girlguiding journey here. Begin by registering her interest and finding out about units in your area. Adventure, fun and friendship starts here.

They’re not paid for what they do – they give their time because they are passionate and care about enriching the lives of girls. They do all of this voluntarily – to give girls in guiding fantastic opportunities and experiences.

Owls feature widely in guiding, particularly in the Brownie age group. Leaders might be called Brown Owl, Tawny Owl, Snowy Owl…. And at one time senior trainers of Brownie Leaders were called Eagle Owls.

The most important qualities of a good leader include integrity, accountability, empathy, humility, resilience, vision, influence, and positivity. “Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could.”

To become a leader, you’ll need to complete our Leadership qualification. Without our 80,000 leaders, guiding simply wouldn’t happen….This may take various forms, including:

1. training certificates.
2. written notes.
3. minutes from local meetings.
4. completed forms.
5. correspondence.
6. photos.
7. discussions with your mentor.

The adults who run a Rainbow unit are called Leaders. They are unpaid volunteers who have completed Girlguiding UK training. They are usually helped by a team of other young women or adults, such as: • a local Guide aged 11 or over. a Young Leader aged 14 or over.
