The Book of Honour was created by BC Council Girl Guides of Canada to recognize outstanding BC Guiding Members, both adults and girls, who exemplify the spirit of Guiding through keeping the Promise and Law. It will also help fund the Bursary of Honour which will encourage education/training for Members of Girl Guides of Canada - Guides du Canada at a post-secondary institution.
