Weekly meetings are mostly held indoors at a regular meeting hall. However, there are many times you will have activities outdoors too. These activities will include games and learning basic skills to prepare you for camps and other outdoor adventures. You will not just participate in outdoor activities at weekly meetings as there are many opportunities for you to attend special outdoor activity days and camps held on weekends or in the school holidays.
Going camping and trying new outdoor activities with your Guiding friends is so much fun! You get to experience new adventures and laughs with your friends while working together in a small team (your Patrol).
Girl Guides is the largest organization in the world, for girls and young women. In Australia, we have over 700 guiding territories and 28,000+ members, including leaders. It provides leadership and personal skills development for it's members, including 22,000 youth members.
Girl Guides Australia are always looking for opportunities to train and support the development of women (of all ages) in various valuable vocations.
We provide a non-formal educational program that is dynamic and flexible while offering values based training in life skills, decision making and leadership. The Australian Guide Program is delivered to girls by trained volunteer leaders.
We are:
-
A valuable not-for-profit organisation that involves volunteers at all levels of its operations.
-
An organisation that involves volunteers in its work to enable our members to gain maximum benefit from the unique knowledge and skills volunteers are able to offer.
Our Mission is to enable girls and young women to grow into confident, self respecting, responsible community members.
Our 2015 Aspiration is to be Australia’s leading organisation for girls and young women in leadership and personal development.
