What happens at Girl Guides

Our Mission is to enable girls and young women to grow into confident, self respecting, responsible community members.


Girls of 5 to 18 years have fun and learn skills that develop their self-confidence and community responsibility. Guides meet weekly for one to two hours during the school term. Meetings are usually held at the local Guide Hall.
Guiding caters for a range of ages. Pre-junior Guides are aged 6–7. Junior Guides are aged 7–10. Guides are aged 10–14. Senior Guides are aged 14–18. Unable to attend regular meetings?
