Circa 1969/1970 we made history when seven of us from Sekolah Menengah Kota Bharu, Kelantan joined the 42nd Boy Scouts Troop and became the first Girl Scouts in Malaysia.
We were young and innocent then and did not even know the impact and implication of our actions. We had done something important that had not been done before and would be recorded and remembered for a long time. Not long after, many schools in Kelantan and other states embraced the idea of setting up a mixed Scout Troop in their schools.

| (Pingat Jasa Pengakap) |
As the pioneers of the Girl Scout Movement, four out of the seven Golden Girls were honoured when we were awarded with Pingat Jasa Pengakap (P.J.P.) by Majlis Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia. The medal presentation was graced by Tuan Hj Nasaruddin Hj Shamsuddin, PPM Deputy National Chief Scout Commissioner at the opening ceremony of the 2018 National Girl Scout Camp in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the Girl Scout Movement in Malaysia. About 400 Girl Scouts gathered in IPG Kampus Sultan Abdul Halim, Sungai Petani, Kedah on 8 - 11 August 2018 for the occasion.

Fifty years ago, at a budding young age, the Big Five may have done something right after all…
