Present day conditions have proved how valuable women can be, both to their country and to their homes, if trained upto the motto, “Be Prepared”. Adventure and the satisfaction of service belong to the girls of today just as much as they belonged to the heroines of bygone ages. For a guide, friendliness and happiness will become a habit, as she trains herself to be able to do her duty to her country and her home. The chief aim of Guides is “character development towards happy citizenship through natural rather than artificial means”. Character means possession of self-reliance, self discipline, cheerfulness, consideration for others and a sense of duty and of patriotism. Their motto is “Be Prepared”.
Guiding is a way of life. It is based on abiding faith in God and it helps to develop not only a liberal understanding of one’s own faith, but also a natural respect for other people’s religious beliefs.

Being conscious of the need for leaders to transform society, Cluny School promotes leadership through various youth movements and co-curricular activities. One such movement is the Y.S.M. For its smooth running and to have more access into the group, the club is divided into small groups which are named after the seven colors of the rainbow – “VIBGYOR”. This reminds them of the beautiful rainbow which is unique and rare but appealing to all. So, its members are expected to become a ray of virtues which in turn attracts others to goodness and happiness. The various ‘get – together’ help the students to check their uniqueness, find their abilities and accept their limitations. They learn to be frank, free and smart in their expressions and activities. To cultivate these attitudes, various activities like self-introduction, group introduction, group activities like discussion, debate and games are conducted.
Through these meetings the students are reminded that self-discipline and modesty are the ornaments of young girls and that they should not sacrifice their future at the foolish altar of modernism, instead they should be rays of light to those who slumber at the entrance of youthfulness and lead them to their goal.
