At a regional level

• your guiding partner, your district team (district co-ordinator, secretary, treasurer, and other leaders)
• your section adviser
• other leaders
• trainers
• instructors
  

Make the most of these people - they’re there to help you get settled into your position and provide ongoing support. Ask your district co-ordinator or team leader for a regional help list of people and responsibilities.

is available from your district co-ordinator or team leader. It contains -

• regional calendar
• regional help list (people to contact)
• regional newsletter
• orientation leaflet
• Mail Order catalogue
• training opportunities
  

GirlGuiding New Zealand National Office

• Mail Order Service
• training and e-learning
• publicity and promotion
• website
• forms and publications

Unit helpers

are guides and rangers who assist in the planning and running of pippin, brownie, or guide units. Speak to your district co-ordinator about this option.

Parents and caregivers

can be your greatest source of help. Unit meetings may offer them quality time with their children. They could help -

• assess badges
• with the unit programme in some way (perhaps even as an assistant unit leader)
• transport girls to activities
• assist at camps
• by sharing their skills
  

It’s really up to you.
