About our Units
Girl Guides provides a non-formal education program that is a dynamic, flexible and values-based training in life skills, decision-making and leadership. It is supported by trained volunteer Leaders who are committed to Girl Guides Australia’s mission statement: Empowering girls and young women to discover their potential as leaders of their world.
At Guides, girls aged between 5 and 17 have fantastic opportunities to develop new skills, try cool activities, gain confidence, to think and act for
themselves, make new friends, acquire a greater respect for the environment and experience a sense of community while having fun. Guides also presents opportunities to attend state, national and international camps and events.
1st Charleville Girl Guides is a small unit of about 25 girls ranging from 5 to 16 years in the township of Charleville, Queensland, Australia. We have five patrols (four 5 – 12 year old groups and one 13 – 17 year old group). There may be only a few of us out here in the West, but it doesn’t stop us from having fun!!
Quote 1 : “Girl Guides is fantastic! You get to make lots of new friends, earn badges, learn to tie knots and have fun! The leaders are really nice and the skills you learn could help you in the future”
Quote 2: “I love Girl Guides because it is fun and I get to have lots of friends.”
1st Charleville Girl Guides hold weekly meetings at the Guide Hut in Watson Street, Sundays 3.00—5.00pm during school terms.
2nd Charleville (Lone) Guides is an unique unit, based at Charleville School of Distance Education, as it caters for girls who live too remotely to attend a regular units. We currently have about 10 girls, all students of the School of Distance Education, enrolled in Guides. While our way of meeting and communicating is a little different, it doesn’t stop us from having just as much fun as other Girl Guides. Girls have weekly ‘on-air’ sessions where they use the telephone and Internet to hear and see each other, meeting face-to-face only once or twice a year. 2nd Charleville (Lone) Guides meet every Tuesday between 3.00 and 4.00pm via Charleville School of Distance Education.
