FAQs Girl Programming

How do I get help with girl programming for my Unit?

There are online resources for activities and challenges on the National GGC website.  For new Guiders there is a resource of tips located here.  You may also connect with other volunteers that are "experts" on girl programming by contacting either your Community Guider or the Provincial Program Adviser.  There are also Resource Guiders in Ontario who are adult Members with a specific skill to offer.  A full listing of Resource Guiders and the activities they offer can be found here.

I have a great idea for a Program Challenge, how do I submit it?

All Challenge ideas in Ontario are to be considered as part of the provincial budget process.   This helps avoid duplication of effort and ensures that the direction of Girl Guides of Canada and WAGGGS is being supported.  It also ensures that we are not competing with a similar challenge in another part of Canada or WAGGGS.  Submit your idea to the Provincial Program Adviser.
