The ceremony will honour the achievements of 338 Guides receiving the President's Guide Award and 12 Rangers receiving the Prime Minister's Award, recognising their dedication, leadership, community service, and commitment to the values of Guiding.

The event will be graced by Hon. Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, Prime Minister of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, as the Chief Guest, with Dr. Madhura Senevirathna, Deputy Minister of Education and Higher Education, attending as the Guest of Honour.

The Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association warmly congratulates all award recipients and looks forward to celebrating this important milestone with Guides, Leaders, parents, and distinguished guests.

“Stride for Her” is a meaningful initiative organized by the Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women, while honoring the remarkable legacy of Guiding. This special event marks 109 years of Guiding alongside the global celebration of International Women’s Day, bringing together individuals who are committed to empowering women and inspiring future generations.

The event begins with an awareness walk, symbolizing unity and collective progress, as participants stride together in support of women’s empowerment. This journey reflects the spirit of courage, leadership, and determination that has defined the Guiding movement for over a century.

Following the walk, the official ceremony will be held at the Colombo Public Library Auditorium, featuring a series of impactful sessions and recognitions. Highlights include an educational session titled “Future You – Planning to Win Tomorrow”, designed to inspire individuals to take control of their future with confidence and purpose.

The event will also host distinguished guests, including national leaders, who will share their insights and celebrate the contributions of women across all sectors. Special segments will honor the legacy of the Sri Lanka Girl Guides Association and recognize the efforts of educators and leaders who continue to shape young minds.

“Stride for Her” is more than an event - it is a movement. It is a call to take a step forward for equality, leadership, and opportunity. Through this initiative, we aim to inspire communities to support and uplift women, ensuring a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive and lead.

Join us as we take meaningful steps together - because every stride counts.
