The first Guide meeting in Barbados was held on 30 November 1918 at Government House, Saint Michael. Thereafter, units for Brownies, Rangers, and Blossom Guides were introduced. Most of the Units are based at Primary and Secondary Schools, however, there are some Units based at Headquarters and at several Churches. The programs of the Association cater to girls and young women between 4 and 25 years.
Its Headquarters is located at "Pax Hill", Belmont Road, Saint Michael, Barbados, and is very close to Bridgetown.
