ABOUT GIRL GUIDES OF CANADA
Girl Guides of Canada–Guides du Canada (GGC) is a place where girls can just
be themselves, build connections and discover real experiences
together with friends. In Guiding, girls from 5-17 meet with girls
their own age in an inclusive space to explore what matters to
them. With programming options ranging from innovative STEM
activities to outdoor adventures and discussions on mental health
and healthy relationships, girls in Guiding can customize their
experience to dive into the topics relevant to them – all with the
support of women volunteers who are committed to positively
impacting their lives.
