Transcona Girl Guides

The largest organization for girls & women in the world It started over 100 years ago with a group of girls seeking challenge, fun and adventure. Today the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is the largest organization for girls and women in the world. There are more than 10 million members in 145 countries. As members of Guides Canada, girls just don't read about life - they experience it hands on in an atmosphere of fun and friendship that recognizes the individual needs of each girl. We offer girls 5 - 17 age-appropriate programs based on principles that: *develop personal values and well-being, self respect and respect for others *promote fun, friendship, adventure and challenges through new experiences *celebrate pride in accomplishment *develop leadership and decision-making skills *teach practical skills and teamwork *give service to the community *value the natural environment *develop an appreciation of Canada and its diversity *foster cultural understanding and knowledge of the global community There is a Branch of Guiding for everyone!
