Adult Membership
Women
join Guiding to make a difference in the lives of girls
in their communities. It’s a chance to make new
friends and gain new skills. Membership in Guiding
also makes you part of the largest organization for
girls and women in the world.
We welcome your interest in Girl Guides of Canada-Guides
du Canada. You may have a few hours a week, a month
or a year to provide leadership and there is a place
within Guiding for you to make that valuable contribution.
Whether you wish to work directly with the girls in
their unit meetings or you wish to contribute in a
specific area of expertise, there is a role for you!
Previous experience working with youth is not needed.

Girl Guides has a wide range of volunteer positions available
to women 18 years and over who wish to be members of the
organization and share their time and talents. For those
interested in working on a regular basis with a group of
girls whether they be Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders
or Rangers, there are many opportunities for you to be a
Unit Guider (leader).
Being a Resource Guider, someone who provides specialized
programming to Units, is a great match for those who need
a more flexible schedule or who have a special skill (anything
from canoeing to international travel to dance) that they
want to share with many girls.
A Community Guider is an experienced leader who supports
several Guiders living in her vicinity. She is available
to share meeting ideas, to answer questions, to fill in when
another Guider is unavailable for a meeting. A great opportunity
for someone who enjoys working with adults!
Link is for women from 18-30 years who may not have the
time for Unit Guiding at the moment but are keen to maintain
their connection with Guiding. A way to stay connected with
other young women! Link Members may also hold positions such
as Trainers, Unit Guiders, task group members.
Trefoil membership is for adults from 30 to whenever! Belonging
to a Trefoil Guild is a way to connect socially with others,
a way to support girls and Guiders through such activities
as fundraising, event planning. Like Link, Trefoil members
may also hold other positions.
