The Irish Girl Guides, sometimes more commonly known as IGG, has been in existence since 1911, when the first Guide Unit was set up in Harold’s Cross. If you’ve never been involved in Guiding - or maybe you were but have lost touch over the years - there’s ne
ver been a better time to get involved! For those of you who have never been involved in Guiding, you don’t know what you’re missing! We have a strong emphasis on the outdoors, environment, community responsibility and teamwork. The girls’ self-esteem and leadership skills are developed as they progress through Guiding. The Irish Girl Guides actively promotes diversity and inclusion and welcomes girl and young women from all walks of life. As we are part of a worldwide movement (W.A.G.G.G.S) of over 10 million girls and young women in over 145 countries, the girls' awareness of global issues and sense of solidarity with their fellow Guides around the globe is increased. The girls learn all about campaigning and advocacy and there are also wonderful travel opportunities and camps abroad for our Guides and Senior Branchers. Most people will remember these camps and travel opportunities as life changing experiences or the best experiences of their teenage years. They often make lifelong friends in Guiding and develop strong bonds that will endure for years and years. Guiding encourages the best in you; it gives you the opportunity to discover new ideas, new skills, new experiences and new friendships. Everyone is welcome in the Irish Girl Guides and the experiences you gain and memories you make will be priceless. Volunteering with the Irish Girl Guides is a fun, challenging and rewarding experience. If you would like to help out with a Unit or become a Leader and set up a new Unit in your area, please see our information on 'Becoming a Volunteer' or contact National Office on 01-6683898 or email [email protected]
