Abstract: This file contains correspondence and reports from the Pakistan Girl Guides Association addressed to Madar-e-Millat Miss Fatima Jinnah. A letter (10 October 1962) from the President of the Girl Guides Association, Peshawar Branch, requests Miss Jinnah to lay the foundation stone of a proposed Guide House in Peshawar during her visit for the opening of Jinnah Commercial Institute. A subsequent letter (18 October 1962) from Begum G.A. Khan, Chief Commissioner, reiterates the request and seeks an interview for several senior Guides officials. A report from the Association describes a successful Council Meeting at Guide House, Lahore, with delegates from East Pakistan, progress in Guiding in East Pakistan, and plans to build a Guide House in Dacca. It mentions UNESCO Youth Enterprise Project on Youth Leadership Training and Community Development, and preparations for a Regional Youth Gathering in Lahore (28 October – 10 November 1962).
