Fun, Friendship and Adventure!
Girl Guides Australia exist to give girls the tools to own their identity, the safety to make mistakes and build the resilience to bounce back. From team leaders to behind-the-sceners, we champion all girls. We challenge them to make a difference and encourage them to turn the things they do into springboards for who they choose to become.
We provide a brave space where girls can turn what they choose to do into springboards for who they can become. Gaining life and leadership skills through activities, community involvement and achievement awards. Designed to empower, our framework allows girls to lead their units and the adventures they have supported and mentored by adult volunteers.
At Girl Guides girls will be encouraged to achieve their own personal goals through a flexible non formal education program with support of other Girl Guides and a Unit Leader. You can find out all about the program and what to expect at a meeting here. Girls have the chance to work towards a wide variety of badges or a Peak Achievement Award as part of the Girl Recognition System.
