Welcome from Girl Guides State Commissioner
Hello and welcome to Guiding,
We are all excited at the wonderful activities that the various Units are arranging and participating in. The Australian Guide Program is a girl driven program where the Guides suggest lots of activities for the year’s events and the Leaders assist with the planning, including the Guide Program fundamentals, the activity itself and then the evaluation afterwards. The Leaders assistance varies depending on the age and experience of the girls in their units.
The Program is designed to cover the areas of development. These areas are physical (outdoors, fitness, environment), people (relationships, service), practical (everyday living skills) and self (intellect, initiative, character, creativity). The Program also covers the fundamental concepts of Lord Baden-Powell’s philosophy including the Patrol System, Service, Traditions, International Guiding, Promise and Law, Outdoors and Leadership skills.
Our whole Program is designed to meet our
All of this by working in small groups using games and having fun!
If you are a Guide, I’m sure that you are enjoying your time in Guiding.
If you are a parent of a prospective Guide you can contact Guide House on 08 84180900 to enquire about your closest Unit.
Should you be an ex-Girl Guide and interested in joining an alumni group or becoming a Leader in a Shared Leadership Team at a Unit please contact us and we can help change your life! It is not only fun for the girls!
Yours in Guiding
Trish Pratt
State Commissioner
