Unit Helper for Juniors / Gumnuts

Girl Guides Victoria, Gumnuts, Juniors, Parent Help

Juniors / Gumnuts,

I am in need of a regular unit helper for juniors & gumnuts. Guides Victoria ratios requires us to have 2 adults at all times during the meeting. As you know, Minga (my mum) is a great help! She is our District Manager & a member of the Region team. She has also been a Girl Guide Leader for over 20 years in Carrum (35 years as a leader!). I want to “let her off the hook” on a weekly basis & allow her to come down occasionally (not weekly).

Unit Helper role would include: –

Be at junior & gumnut guides meetings from 6:10pm till 7:30pm each Tuesday.
Have a current Working With Children Check (this can be arranged through Guides Victoria if required).
Have Level 2 First Aid (including CPR, Asthma & Anaphylaxis) – can be arrange through Guides Victoria if required.
No programming or leadership training required or necessary during the nights.
We just need someone who is willing to help out & attend each week.

Comment here, or email Bickie. Thank you.

Free Being Me Program (Please take time to read this post & parent letter attached)

Juniors, Program, Seniors

(Please take time to read this post & the parent letter that is attached)

Empowering girls through improving body confidence. WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts), Dove and Girl Guides Australia have worked hard to develop a program that is girl-led, fun and relevant to the needs of girls and young women.

The “Free Being Me” has been written especially for the age groups of our units. It is an educational program that engages with exploring ideas about body confidence & beauty that will affect them as they grow up. Free Being Me shows participants that there isn’t just one way to be beautiful & that what is inside them matters the most.
