The World Girl Guide Centenary Memorial Building was inaugurated at State Training Centre, Nerhema in Kohima district on October 6.
It was inaugurated by Nini Meru, Life Member and First Vice Patron of the Nagaland State Bharat Scouts & Guides (NSBSG) as the Special Guest.
Addressing the gathering, Meru urged upon the young Scouts and Guides to prepare and face the various challenges in life.
“We do not know what is ahead of us. We do not know what we are going to face,” she said, adding that the younger generation was at the beginning of its journey and needed to be prepared for different situations.
Meru said that through becoming a Guide or Scout, young people are trained to face various circumstances in life.
“Do not think that it is just a game, but it is the way of training you to face life,” she said.
She further encouraged the youth to prepare not only for life but also for eternity, stressing the importance of faith in Jesus Christ.
“As a grandmother, as a mother, as a teacher, I'm telling you, be prepared for this life and for eternity,” Meru said.
