Toukley Junior Guides

Description

The Australian Guide Program provides girls and young women with a sense of purpose, belonging and achievement.

The Program is based on the view of the Founder, Lord Baden-Powell, that the ‘activities, while delighting girls’, should also give them ‘a course of education outside the school’ in four areas:

Character and intelligence
Skill and handicraft
Physical health and hygiene
Service for others and fellowship

The girls are grouped into small groups known as patrols and the girls have the opportunity to develop their teamwork and leadership skills. The girls run games and come up with ideas for activities. The type of activities we have done in our meetings include various craft activities (including making a small mat made out of newspaper), cooking (teaching girls about basic nutrition), scavenger hunts (teaching girls how to read maps) and many more.
