Who can join?
Any girl can join at any age from 5 years, at any time during the year.
If you or a girl and her parents would like to see what our programmes are all about before joining, ask us about coming along for a trial period.
How much time is involved?
During school terms, girls spend up to two hours a week with their group. In school holidays and on selected weekends, there are extra opportunities to take part in camps, outdoor adventure days and other activities.
Costs
Your local leader will give you more specific details about costs which include an annual membership fee.
Our iconic Guide Biscuit fundraiser helps keep our fees at a reasonable rate. Fees and biscuit profits help pay for girls programme activities, overheads, leader training and national administration.
Safety
GirlGuiding New Zealand adheres to comprehensive policies and procedures for ensuring the safety of all girls under our care. More (link to safety policy)
Progressing through age groups
Progressing through the different groups is seamless, we call it ‘linking’. Girls move with their friends and can look forward to more fun and other challenges and adventures.
Girls are encouraged to complete whatever level of achievement they have decided to go for, but completion will not be a reason for making her stay if she is ready to move.
Transfers
If you are planning to move to a new area, you will need to ask your daughter’s current Leader about transferring to a Unit in your new community. Alternatively please contact us at National Office. We want to ensure that your daughter continues her journey of fun, development and adventure with us.
