The Australian Guide Program

The Australian Guide Program provides girls and young women with a sense of purpose, belonging and achievement.

The Program is based on the view of the Founder, Lord Baden-Powell, that the 'activities, while delighting girls', should also give them 'a course of education outside the school' in four areas:

1. Character and intelligence
    
2. Skill and handicraft
    
3. Physical health and hygiene
    
4. Service for others and fellowship

As the Program symbol shows, the Australian Guide Program has these  focal points:

PHYSICAL - Giving girls opportunities to become fit, heathy and strong

PRACTICAL - Enabling girls to learn skills that will help them throughout their lives

PEOPLE - Helping girls to develop friendships, and skills at understanding and caring for others

SELF - Giving girls opportunities to grow by challenging themselves and learning to lead.

The Program helps to develop skills for life.
