Each State Girl Guide organisation will hold an event during 2010. The dates and locations will be advised during 2009. Watch this space for further information. This will be a wonderful time to be reunited with friends from the past and share your great memories of the happy times you spent together as a Gumnut, Brownie, Girl Guide, Ranger Guide, Ranger, Leader or Trefoil Guild member. Please let Girl Guides Australia know where you are now and what you have done since your time as a Guide.
This is an invitation to all women who were a member of a Girl Guide Association or Girl Scout Association anywhere in the world and now live in Australia to register your interest in the Centenary of Guiding Celebrations. You may have been a Gumnut (or equivalent), Brownie, Girl Guide, Ranger Guide, Ranger or Leader and would like to join in the celebrations. Tell us a little about yourself, what you gained from Guiding and your contact details, by emailing Girl Guides Australia
