Girl Guides NSW, ACT & NT Annual Report 2020

Guides in Community
By working with local community groups, a new Guides
District was opened in 2020 (during COVID) in Ropes
Crossing. Paris, together with Region volunteers, held a
local community meeting from which resulted in attracting
new adult members who volunteered to be Leaders, A
letterbox drop by local Guides from other Districts and
a social media campaign kicked off the launch of this
new District. There are now 32 Guides across one Junior
Guide Unit and one Guide Unit with 3 Leaders and 1 District
Manager. The Units meet in the local Community Centre.
This successful project will be replicated in other Regions
in the organisation.
Guides Mobile Experience Centre
In 2019 Girl Guides NSW, ACT & NT won a ‘My Community
Project’ grant through the Riverstone electorate which
provided the funding to purchase a mobile Guiding van.
This was delivered in 2020 during COVID. Since restrictions
have been lifted the van has been present in many regional
and local community events. This vehicle is a valuable
recruitment asset for the organisation and we would like to
thank the Member for Riverstone Kevin Conolly MP and the
Riverstone Community for voting for this project.
