Guiding is a fun, weekly, after school activity for girls in Ballarat.

And for many girls it is much more than that. Guiding becomes a central point for developing social skills and life skills.

Guiding is an all-female organisation for girls aged from 5. In fact, it is the world's largest organisation for females with over 10 million members.

Girls are members of a Guide Unit of similar aged girls in their community.  They help to decide, plan and participate in their own unit programs. All girls are encouraged to stand up and be heard on all issues.

Girl Guides in Ballarat offer girls a wide range of after school activities and opportunities for personal growth, development, building self-confidence and leadership skills.

Through participation in activities such as camping, cooking, experimenting, hiking and community service projects, girls learn to take initiative, work as a team, and solve problems independently. The Guide program encourages girls to set and achieve personal goals, helping them to develop a sense of purpose and direction.

Girl Guides also provides girls with the opportunity to make lasting friendships and connections with other girls in the community who meet regularly in small groups, allowing them to bond over shared experiences and interests. These friendships can provide girls with support and encouragement as they navigate their own challenges.

In addition to all these benefits, Girl Guides is also a lot of fun!

Girls participate in fun and exciting activities, make new friends, and learn valuable life skills.
