Congratulations to Sarah who took us to Mexico 🇲🇽 last night with a Mexican song, Mexican hat game involving chocolate & nachos! Yummy night!
Sarah is working on her Junior BP & spent the whole night with juniors & Gumnuts!
We loved learning new games & songs from other countries especially Mexico where one of our world centres is!
Thanks Sarah
All Carrum Girl Guide Families are asked to take home some allocated biscuits on Tuesday night to sell to family, neighbours & friends or work colleagues. It will only be a few packets & we ask you to bring in the money before the end of term.
I also need a parent to co-ordinate the biscuits, to take note of families taking & returning biscuits/money. If you are interested let me know by commenting here or on Tuesday at guides

Minga can only be there from 9-2 & I am unable to attend due to another commitment. We need a parent/leader to stay from 2-4pm & pack up remaining gear to be returned to Guide hall following week.
Let me know ASAP Bickie
As of January 2017, the Victorian Government introduced new legislation for managing staff and volunteers who come in contact with children. Girl Guides Victoria has always had strong processes to comply with the law and ensure that girls’ safety comes first.
People interested in volunteering with Guides have lots of different reasons for wanting to volunteer. Some want to become Youth Leaders and work with girls on an on-going basis, while others want to volunteer with specific skills or on short-term projects; others just want to help out occasionally. Irrespective of the reason or frequency, the legislation and Girl Guide’s Victoria’s processes apply to ALL VOLUNTEERS who may come into contact with girls in Guides more than once a term. This includes a parent helper, a member of a support group, a unit leader, assistant leader or junior leader over 18, or those doing regular fundraising.
Volunteers may begin regular (more than once a term) volunteering with Guides once they have met four criteria and are registered on our database as a member. These include:
All steps must be completed prior to any volunteer starting in their role. Please allow plenty of time BEFORE you want to start. The legislation is VERY clear that these checks are necessary before a volunteer can start work.
Note: When a Youth Member turns 18, she is considered by law to be an adult. Even if she is not finished school, attending Guides once 18 will require the same process to be followed. The Volunteer Coordinator will kick off this process; Unit leaders do not need to take any action.
If you are a volunteer that is ready to start with your Unit/District/Region, then just start the process by emailing us with your details (your name and Unit/District/Region) and theirs (name, email and the role that they’ll be volunteering in). We’ll take the next steps to get you registered.
When: Saturday 16th September to Sunday 17th September 2017
Where: Carrum Community Guide Hall
Time: 3pm Saturday to 10am Sunday
Cost: $15.00 per guide (includes dinner & breakfast)
