Trefoil
| Membership
in the Trefoil Guild is open to women over the age of 30
who have been enrolled in Guiding previously or who are
willing to become a fully screened member. Many members
are active in other aspects of Guiding and may still
be Unit Guiders. Trefoil Guild members meet together
for friendship, service and to keep alive the spirit
of Guiding. All members are entitled to wear the Trefoil
Guild Pin with the appropriate adult uniform or the pin
may be worn out of uniform. |
|
Guilds meet as often as the members wish -
some monthly, some just two or three times a year. Meetings
may be in the afternoon
or evening or on weekends.
A Trefoil Guild provides an avenue to network
with other adult members, join in sisterhood activites, participate
in service projects and provide Unit Guiders with assistance.
Members working together,
each giving time and effort as they are able, can be of
great help and support to Guiding
and the community. They can support girl member activities
by fundraising or help with other aspects of girl programming.
They may undertake community service and they always have
time for fun and social activities in the continuing fellowship
of Guiding.
As with other branches of Guiding, Trefoil
Guilds have their own distinct colour - purple. Purple sweatshirts
and Trefoil
crests are available through Girl Guide stores.
Members of Trefoil Guild continue to receive membership recognition
pins. This pin recognizes your total years as a member of
GGC, including both girl and adult years and does replace
the Long Service pin. If you are an currently an adult member
and have not had your girl years added to your iMIS record,
please follow the directions to do so on National Council's
website: www.girlguides.ca
All registered Trefoil Guild members receive the Canadian
Guider.
