For me

As a Guide Leader, you will be a vital link in the growth and development of our Leaders of tomorrow. Leaders play an important role as a mentor for young girls to look up to and learn from. Many Guides look back on their Leaders as role models who helped shape their future successes.

An immense sense of personal satisfaction can be gained by challenging yourself as a Leader while also contributing to your community and making a difference in the lives of today’s young women.

While your support and life experience will help set these young women on the path to achieve their full potential, Leaders themselves also have an opportunity to further develop their own skills and qualifications. This includes both formal, accredited training as well as informal training across a wide variety of areas including first aid, group facilitation and adventure-based activities.

There are additional roles Leaders can elect to become involved in including planning for camps and events, taking part in functions and representing Girl Guides Queensland interstate and overseas.

Guiding provides Leaders with the opportunity to acquire skills such as Leadership, teamwork and negotiation, which are viewed as valuable assets for any employer.
Whatever your passions, there is an opportunity for you to share these with your Guides, while learning new skills yourself in the process.
