Are there girl scouts in canada

Specialized Programming In addition to core programming, Girl Guides have the opportunity to participate in special challenges and activities, according to their particular interests.

The range of challenges and activities is vast. Themes include science, the environment, arts, international issues, self-esteem and much more. Upon completion of challenges, girls receive crests in recognition of their achievement. International Opportunities for Girls Girl Guides of Canada is dedicated to ensuring that our programming provides opportunities for girls to understand their role in the larger world, so they can develop into informed and responsible global citizens.

International programming highlights: International travel and global development activities and discussions Each year on February 22, World Thinking Day , girls participate in activities and projects with global themes to honour their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. Our Twinning program helps girls connect with youth in other countries.

Kaelem Moniz, Scouting Youth. Scouting has taught my son so many skills and given him opportunities to try so many great adventures! Kathleen Lehman, Scouting Parent.

My greatest Scouting memories are all coupled with first experiences. Sleeping in a tent for the first time, my first campfire, participating in two Canadian Jamborees; the first one allowing me to travel on a plane, alone, for the first time.

All these experiences are things that I cherish and enjoy sharing because they are components of Scouting that have become amazing memories that will last a lifetime, but have also made me a confident and well-rounded person.

Kaitlyn Patterson, Rover Scout. Community service is a key aspect of our programming. It not only helps the community, but teaches youth how to make contributions to society as youth and adults. Maintaining a bee farm, organizing food drives and crafting Christmas cards has made an impact on the very grateful residents that the youth help. Susan Rad, Scouter, the 4th Cranbrook Group. Catharines, Ontario.
