Girl Guides of Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador

A. In Guiding, girls from 5 to 17 can try it all! Once a week they meet with other girls their age to join in more fun than they could ever imagine.

In Guiding, girls can:

• Discover the great outdoors and the impact they can have on the environment
• Explore science and technology
• Make their community a better place through small actions that make a big difference
• Learn life skills such as financial literacy and healthy relationships in a fun and engaging way
• Develop an understanding of the issues that impact girls and women around the  world
• Apply for Canadian and international travel experiences and post-secondary scholarships

A. Guiding is a place where girls and young women can challenge themselves, put their ideas into action, take part in an amazing range of activities, and gain the skills to confidently navigate their world. All in a safe and supportive environment that welcomes every girl. Girls in Guiding love how much fun they have – you’ll love what she gains along the way.

In true Guiding tradition, we are prepared for whatever 2020 brings. We are very excited to resume in-person unit meetings this fall and are committed to ensuring every girl in Guiding enjoys her membership all year long. We know that during the 2020/21 Guiding year, we may be asked to practice physical distancing from time to time, wherever we may live, so we are focused on a safe, regional approach to delivering the fun, friendship and connection of Guiding all year long! We are working with GGC’s amazing Guider volunteers to prepare for whatever your year brings and will have more details soon – stay tuned!
