The Helensburgh Girl Guides are excited to return with the school term in 2022.
We’d like to thank the community for all the support over the previous year. Most of all we’d like to say thank you to the wonderful parent volunteers who have helped us throughout this wet and windy final term. Special thanks to Mr John Martin – affectionately known as ‘Grumps’ and grandfather of guide Charlotte – whose woodworking skills were put to the test by making us new wooden frames for water rafts and a new set of land skis, both sets of equipment for the girls to use at regional regatta competitions. Grumps also created new storage racks at our Guide Hall to hold it all. A huge Bravo to Grumps.
For those new to the community, Girl Guides Australia is an all-volunteer run organisation built to empower girls and young women to grow into confident, self-respecting members of the community. Our organisation embraces girls from all cultures and faiths.
Our Local Guide unit regularly participates in community activities including Clean Up Australia Day and collecting donations for local, national and international charities and organisations as well as building fun skills such as knot tying and abseiling.
We are also excited to announce that the Helensburgh Girl Guide unit is accepting new registrations. We encourage any and all adventure loving girls aged 7- 10 to apply for our junior guide (Brownie) unit while 11–14-year-olds are welcome in our Guide unit. Unit meetings are held weekly on Fridays during school term.
