Our
members tell us that volunteering with Girl Guides is one of their most
personally rewarding experiences. When you volunteer with Girl Guides
you help girls and young women develop the best within themselves and
discover how to connect with people in their community and around the
world. Girl Guides offers opportunities for personal growth, leadership
and travel. Girl Guides also provides access to organized training,
activity ideas, program resources, pre-planned events, greater community
involvement as well as an opportunity to learn how to plan events.
