History
The first Guide patrols in Armenia were founded in 1988 as part of a coeducational Scouting organization. In 1996, the girls left this organization and founded ASTGIK, a girls-only association. First contact with WAGGGS was established in 1997, and in 1999, the association received the status WAGGGS Certificate of Country Working Towards Membership. Meanwhile, ASTGIK was authorized by the Armenian Ministry of Justice in December 1998. In 2002, the association became an associate member of WAGGGS.
