Girl Guides Australia is committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation which is a welcoming space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and women. GGA aims to empower all girls and young women to make a difference in the world. This first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) provides direction and space for all our members to reflect, learn, acknowledge and embrace a more inclusive space through both personal and organizational growth.
The Girl Guides Victoria Inclusion and Diversity Team have put together some different activities which you could utilise within your Units in honour of either of these two weeks or at any other time of the year when your Unit has chosen to focus on Australian First Nations culture. The activities will encourage understanding of Australia’s First Nations culture, our nations true history and inspire healthy reconciliation for the future of Australia which is something both of these themes share.

Navigating girlhood is tricky enough but managing a period while at camp or a sleepover is one of their biggest concerns say 68% of girls in our recent survey. 84% fear leaking through their clothes at sleepovers or camp which adds another layer of anxiety. As may as 1 in 3 girls decide not to stay at friends or at camp because of their period!
Not anymore! To give girls the confidence to be period-prepared, reusable leak-proof period wear brand Modibodi has partnered with Girl Guides Australia to change the conversation around camps and sleepovers – because Periods Don’t Pause Adventures!

This year’s theme is ‘Our Story’. It gives Girl Guides in Australia the chance to reflect on the symbolism and values of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and explore what it has meant to be a Girl Guide and Girl Scout over the years. This Activity Pack helps leaders to encourage Guides to travel into the past, explore present-day Guiding, and to look towards the future.
