Girl Guide Program

There are two parts to the Guide Program There are interest Badges (girls earn these on their own, but we do earn some as a group), and Program Areas (we do these as a group).

There are 16 program areas in total. Our unit completes the first area annually (requirement for enrollment), plus five more. At the end of three years, at five per year plus the first, the girls have earned them all.

The interest badges are round, and the program area badges are square. You earn four small squares, and when you have earned all four, plus two interest badges from specific categories, you earn the large square badge that accompanies the four small ones.

There are also three Service Badges.
1) For Community Service
2) For international Service
3) For Environmental Service
We usually earn one each year, and at the end of the three year program, the girls have earned them all

Girl Guides has some "Challenge" Badges which can be earned by a member in any level of Guiding. Depending on the age of the girl, there are different age-appropriate activities to be done. These are an "earned badge," and go on the Badge scarf.

There are also "Fun Crests" that the girls may receive at camps or other events. These Crests aren't an "earned badge," and therefore don't go on the badge scarf. Instead, the girls can pin them to their camp hat, sew them on a camp blanket, or sew them onto their bag for their indoor shoes that they bring to Guides each week.

The highest award that a Guide can earn is the Lady Baden Powell Award. This Award takes dedication and a significant time commitment.

The Lady Baden-Powell Challenge

This is the highest award a Guide can earn. It is usually earned after three years, but Girls who are motivated can complete the activities in two years!

To earn this challenge you must complete Numbers 1 and 2, as well as four more of the activities below:

1) Complete all of the four program areas.

2) Learn about Lady Baden-Powell and prepare a skit, song, story, poster, or other activity to demonstrate what you have learned. Share it with your patrol, unit, or group of Guiding friends.

3) Complete a project to help your Guide unit enjoy their Guiding experience. This project should involve a regular commitment over a period of time: the effort required will vary depending on the service project. Talk to your Guider and your unit about ideas of what you would like to do. For example, create a book of active games, or prepare a Thinking Day ceremony.

4) Participate in a major community service project. This project is in addition to the service completed in You in Guiding. You could volunteer at a daycare center or a food bank, for instance.

5) Participate in three Pathfinder meetings.

6) Take part in a community activity that involved doing something for someone else. For example, shovel snow for an elderly person, help carry groceries, or entertain children so a parent can do household chores.

7) Share your favorite Guiding experiences over the last year with a group of friends who are not in Guiding.
