Het Arubaanse Padvindsters Gilde

Het Arubaanse Padvindsters Gilde (APG, "The Arubanese Guilde of Girl Guides") is the national Guiding organization of Aruba. It serves 185 members (as of 2003). Founded in 1941, the girls-only organization became an associate member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1993.

Program sections

The association is divided in three sections according to age:
* Brownie - ages 7 to 11
* Guide - ages 11 to 17
* Pioneers - ages 17 to 21

The Girl Scout Motto is "Wees Bereid", "Be Prepared" in Papiamento, and "Weest Paraat" in Dutch.

Emblem

The badge of "Het Arubaanse Padvindsters Gilde" is based on the badge of the former Dutch Girl Scouts organisation, " Het Nederlands Padvindsters Gilde". The badge consists of a ten point star for the ten lines in the Girl Scouts law on a Trefoil for Girl Scouting/Guiding
