Girl Guides Queensland's Outdoor Education and Conference Centre, Kindilan is under real threat from the Redland City Council’s proposed Waste Transfer Station (WTS) to be built beside our site. Council are in the final weeks of making decisions about their Waste Strategy. The Save Kindilan campaign is to reinforce the message to Redland City Council that we STRONGLY OBJECT to having Days Road used as any access route to the Waste Transfer Station.
The Queensland Youth Alliance invites members of Girl Guides Queensland to a QYA Workshop on the findings of a Churchill Fellow Research Report addressing the topic “The recruitment and retention of adult volunteers in Girl Guide Organisations”
The research in this report looks at:
• the need to accommodate a new kind of volunteer;
• flexibility in volunteer roles;
• limited time of volunteers; and
• valuation and recognition of volunteers.
The findings and recommendations are relevant to any organisation that recruits volunteers to assist them with their purpose. The evening will be in the format of a formal presentation by Dr Natasha Hendrick, author of the Fellow’s report, followed by a practical workshop to look at implementation strategies.
In June Guides and Leaders around Queensland took part in the Chain of Campfires to celebrate the Centenary. Guides celebrated on beaches, in the bush, on lakes and at camps.
