The launch of Guiding’s brand new Girls First program is a pretty big deal. Innovative science and tech activities. Outdoor adventures. The chance for girls to talk about what really matters to them. And. So. Much. More. The new Girl Guide program was totally designed to fit with what girls really want. That’s why we had to celebrate our new program in a really big way – and did we ever.
Across the country, girls led the way in planning and running Girls First Launch Parties. Pathfinders and Rangers served as Launch Leaders, designing events that allowed girls in Guiding to test drive activities in the new program and discover their favourites. Along the way, our launch leaders picked up some resume-ready skills like event planning, public speaking, and more.
“Girls got to discover new things about themselves and try exciting activities,” said Caitriona, a Girl Guide Launch Leader and member of our National Youth Council. “It was cool to be part of a group of people and make new friends while feeling the welcoming sisterhood of Guiding! This is such an important and positive change in the program and it is important to spread the word and get girls talking about it and sharing it with their units. The option to bring a friend got everyone involved and learning about how positive Guiding is in young girls’ lives.”
