Be sure to check out the new Welcome to Guiding Booklet (pdf). Produced by the Provincial Membership Committee, the booklet is primarily for Spark and Brownie girls and their families; however, it could be used for any girl new to Guiding. We encourage you to print copies in black and white to present to your unit as you start up in the fall. There is information about Guiding, including our history, getting involved, financial commitments, the branches of Guiding and a section on cookies, and how the sales are also a fun way to encourage learning. Print double-sided and then fold in half. See the Welcome to Guiding Booklet's accompanying Information Sheet for full details. |

Check out 'Change the World' (a Guiding rap), which was recently recorded by BC Guiding members and will be available soon through your district. It's a great tool for parades, celebrations and PR opportunities. Use it as background music for your next event; it really speaks to who we are in a lively, current voice. We recognize the generosity of Melinda Caroll and Legend Productions. Melinda wrote and performed the original version of 'Change the World' and we received permission to put Canadian words to this fabulous rap. Click here to hear 'Change the World' (mp3). For more Guiding songs, see our Guiding Songs page. |
