International Day of the Girl

Uncategorized

What is International Day of the Girl (IDG)?
On December 19, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly declared October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognise girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world. The International Day of the Girl focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.

What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

The Sustainable Development Goals have been developed by the United Nations to provide a shared blueprint for tackling our biggest global challenges, with the aim of achieving them by 2030. There are 17 different goals which together recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

An activity pack has been designed so that the requirements of the Girl Guides Victoria International Day of the Girl activity program can be completed in one Unit meeting. Ask your unit leader for this amazing resource.

Term 3 Guides Starts Tonight

Uncategorized

Hi everyone,
We start back tonight! We are running the following times for our program this term: –
– Gumnuts & Juniors 6:00pm – 6:45pm
– Seniors, Pre-Rangers & Rangers 7:00pm – 8:15pm
We are running some awesome programs this term however we needed to streamline our timing. We will endeavour to make the timing as best as we can whilst delivering an awesome program.
Seniors, Pre-Rangers & Rangers to bring along dilly bags if possible.
Please remember if you are 12 years or older, please bring along a face mask if you cannot socially distance. Please also remember to bring along a drink bottle to keep yourself hydrated through out the night (a good girl guide is always prepared!)
We will be running our attendance via team app. We ask that parents please drop off & pick up your daughter in the front outside foyer of the hall (Please try to refrain from coming into the hall – we have a maximum of 35 only allowed inside the hall at any one time).
See you tonight 🙂

Girl Guides Cancelled this week

Uncategorized

We are very sad but we have had to cancel girl guides for juniors/gumnuts, seniors & rangers due to the COVID restrictions. Restrictions come into place as of 6pm & there is still clarification needed. Our concern is always with the safety of everyone involved.
We will miss you but we will schedule a zoom for next week.
We are also planning some camp skill sessions for seniors & rangers next term. Watch out for these dates soon.
See you all soon.

Lightweight Tents

Hi Pre-Rangers & Rangers

We are going to be practising putting up lightweight tents.
Fee – can you bring yours along?
I have a pretty purple one to practise with!
We will be also having a formal Unit In Council with our newly elected positions. Please bring along an idea or a badge to work towards so we can plan out Term 2.
