Group Leader - 1st Penhold Guides & Pathfinders (Unit Guider)

Welcome to Girl Guides! We empower young girls and women to be everything they want to be, and as a volunteer, you will help make that happen! Our volunteers support girls as they build confidence, develop new skills and become leaders in their communities.

As part of a unit’s leadership team, you’ll facilitate fun and engaging program activities, like scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, games and more for our Guides (9-11) and Pathfinders (age 12-14).

Volunteers commit to 3 hours per week for the duration of the school year.


What You’ll Do as A Group Leader:

Create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for girls!
Plan regular unit meetings in person, outdoors and online, during which you’ll facilitate girl-driven programming that is fun and engaging.
Organize in-person or virtual opportunities beyond unit meetings, including community service activities and camps.
