Girl Guides creates meaningful experiences for both girls and their caregivers. Girls love it for the friendships and fun activities. Caregivers value the safe, welcoming environment, the positive impact on personal development, and the variety of experiences available through Guiding.
Girl Guides of Canada has been empowering girls for over 100 years. From outdoor adventures and camps to leadership opportunities and community impact projects, Girl Guides help girls develop confidence, discover their strengths and build skills that will benefit them for years to come.
It’s never too early or too late to join Guiding, and it’s easy to find one near you. Search the website for your daughter’s age and preferred location and day.
The age-appropriate programs grow with girls, offering new challenges, adventures and leadership opportunities at every stage. Whether she’s 5 or 17, she’ll find a welcoming community where she can make friends, build confidence and discover what she’s capable of. No experience is required, so girls can join a welcoming, inclusive community at any age.
