Make Leadership Possible 👇

Leadership doesn't always begin with a title. Sometimes, it starts with leading a game, sharing an idea or encouraging a friend to give something new a try.

Through Guiding, girls discover the confidence to step forward and the skills to lead with kindness, courage and purpose.

Your tax-deductible donation helps provide trained volunteers, program resources and accessible activities so more girls can discover their voice, take the lead and grow into capable, confident leaders.

Ordinary women. Extraordinary impact.

Girl Guides volunteers come from all walks of life. They’re students, parents, professionals, retirees, mentors, and community members. They’re women who choose to give their time to help girls and young women thrive.

That’s the extraordinary thing about volunteering: ordinary people become extraordinary by making a difference.

As we close out National Volunteer Week, we want to say one final thank you to every volunteer who makes Guiding possible. Your impact reaches further than you know, and the difference you make in the lives of girls and young women is truly lasting.

Big impact starts with one person saying ‘Yes!’ 🌟

At Girl Guides, volunteers help girls and young women grow in confidence, take on challenges, build friendships and discover their potential – and it all starts with people willing to show up and make a difference.

You don’t need to have all the answers or endless free time to volunteer. Sometimes, the smallest moments of encouragement can leave the biggest impact. ☀️🌈✨

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, this could be your sign to start the conversation. Because big impact really does start with you.

National Volunteer Week is here, and we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who make Girl Guides possible. 💙

Every week, across NSW, ACT & NT, our volunteers show up with kindness, creativity, encouragement, and heart — helping girls and young women build confidence, make lifelong friendships, and discover what they’re capable of.

This year’s theme, “Your Year to Volunteer”, is a reminder that one decision to get involved can make a lifelong difference for a girl finding her place in the world.

To every Girl Guides volunteer: thank you for the time, care, and passion you give so generously. This week is all about celebrating you and the impact you make every single day.

😂 A Quick Guide to Guiding at Any Age 😂

Some people think Guiding is something you do when you’re young.

But anyone who’s been around for a while knows that’s… not quite how it works.

Because Guiding has a strange habit of following you through life.

It usually starts something like this:

🌈 Age 5–10
You come for the games.
You stay for the crafts.
You accidentally learn loads of skills.

🧭 Teen years
You realise you can lead games, help younger members and do some pretty amazing things.

🙋‍♀️ Adult leader stage
You suddenly own a suspicious amount of craft supplies.
You can organise 20 children, three activities and a biscuit break with military precision.

You also regularly find things in your pockets when you get home such as:
• glue lids
• string
• random beads
• half a sticker sheet

✨ Later in life
You discover you still love the laughter, the friendships and the slightly chaotic fun.

So you stay involved through things like Trefoil Guild.

Because the truth is…

Guiding isn’t really something you grow out of.

It’s more something that quietly becomes part of who you are.

Also…

Once you’ve learned the correct way to toast a marshmallow, that knowledge is basically for life.

So yes - you absolutely can be involved in Guiding at any age.

Fair warning though:

You may develop strong opinions about biscuits, crafts, and the correct volume for campfire songs. 💙

Celebrating 100 years of Sir David Attenborough — broadcaster, natural historian, writer, and lifelong champion of nature, exploration, and curiosity. 🌍⚜️

Many people don’t realise that Sir David was a Cub Scout, Scout, and later a Senior Scout in his youth. Those early adventures in Scouting helped nurture the curiosity, resilience, and love of the natural world that would inspire generations throughout his remarkable life and career.

Reflecting on his time in Scouting, Sir David once said:

“I remember my time as a Wolf Cub very well indeed. We learned a lot of useful things and had a great deal of fun. I hope you all do too.”

Through Scouting, young people continue to experience adventure, friendship, learning, and discovery firsthand — building confidence and a lifelong respect for the world around them.

Thank you, Sir David, for a century of inspiration and for encouraging generations to explore, discover, and protect our planet. Happy 100th Birthday! 🌱
