Sri Lankan Girls

Program and ideals

In the 1960s the image of Girl Guiding in Sri Lanka was changed to give it a local character. New Sri Lanka badges for all ranks in the three branches were introduced.
SLGGA is divided into three sections:

• "Kuda Mithuriye" (Little Friend) aged 7–11
• "Baladhakshika" (Guide) aged 11–16
• "Jayeshta Baladhakshika" (Senior Guide) aged 16–23

Overseas branches

An overseas branch of the Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association operates at the Sri Lankan School in Muscat, Oman.^[1]
