We are a sisterhood beyond the uniform
For every woman who has ever tied a Guide’s knot, sung around a campfire, or lived by the Promise, the journey never truly ends. The Trefoil Guild Nigeria is where the spirit of Guiding finds its forever home—a sanctuary for those who carry the trefoil in their hearts long after the uniform has been set aside.
We are the Adult Guides
The torchbearers of a legacy, the quiet force that keeps the flame alive. Whether you wore a Brownie uniform with boundless curiosity, a Guide with a thirst for adventure, a Ranger breaking barriers, or a Leader shaping young minds or simply believe in our values —this is where your story continues.
The greeting that unites us
"Once a Guide, Always a Guide."
These words are more than a greeting—they are a sacred vow, a whisper from our past selves reminding us that the values we learned as girls remain our compass for life.
