LONES
Any Grade, Any Age!

Even though you may not be able to attend regular meetings, you can stll enjoy all of the fun of being part of Girl Guides of Canada - Guides du Canada. Check out the Guiding Branches (below, right) for your age group and for activities you can do on your own or with friends.

Hello, Lones!
This is your page. We hope you enjoy it.
If you have some games, ideas or activities to share with other
Lones in BC, please send us an e-mail.

Lones are girls who are unable to attend regular meetings because of distance from a unit, health, or physical challenge, school workload, lack of time, or transportation.

Lone Guiding carries out the Guiding program by mail. A Lone is assigned to a unit and she has the responsibility to correspond regularly with her Guider. Lone units are small and members live throughout British Columbia. If a girl moves temporarily to another country, she may continue her Canadian Guiding program by becoming a Lone.

Lone Guiders try to ensure that each Lone member receives the best possible alternative to belonging to an active unit. Guiders prepare interesting Unit letters which may include activities, games, crafts, news, pictures, songs and program suggestions. The unit letter is circulated to each member in turn, and each one may add her own ideas and news. Guiders also correspond directly with each girl.

Lones should be informed about special events and encouraged to attend District/Division/Area or Unit meetings and events whenever possible.

Lones are eligible to apply for Provincial, National and International camps and events. Applications are available from the Provincial Lones Adviser or from the Unit Guider. Any Lone applying for an event should contact her Camp Adviser or International Adviser to help with the application forms.

The Provincial Lones Adviser is a member of the Program Committee. You may contact her through the Program Committee at the Provincial office for more information or assistance.
