GIRL GUIDES in the Western Cape
Youths are women aged between 18 and 30 years.
These young ladies are entering adulthood and this programme helps them make that transition. Many of them are also making their way to becoming Adult Leaders.
I promise that I will do my best:
To do my duty to my God and my Country.
To help other people and
To keep the Guide Law.
A Guide is to be trusted.
A Guide is loyal.
A Guide is helpful.
A Guide is friendly.
A Guide is polite and considerate.
A Guide cares for the earth and living things.
A Guide is obedient.
A Guide is brave and cheerful.
A Guide is thrifty.
A Guide respects herself and others.
Youth wear a blue scarf when they are enrolled, to be worn with their full uniform always.
A simple, short sleeved school shirt will become the girls' Youth uniform shirt. On the shirt is where all earned badges will go.
Navy pants or a navy skirt can be worn with the white shirt and scarf.
The uniform is complete with smart black shoes.
As with all of our programmes, the girls are taught vital life skills in a fun and engaging way.
Once they have proved competent in these skills, they are rewarded with badges!
There are 8 main adventure badges, made up of a number of different clauses that the girls must complete. The badges are each centred around a specific topic and skill.
Youths delve deeper into their roles within the movement, exploring not only our origins and the roots of our traditions and customs, but also envisioning what the future of Guiding holds.
Youths are taught and encouraged to take part in community service projects, as well taking action on important issues surrounding them.

Youths are given essential outdoor skills, as well as water-related skills. They will go on more camps, hikes and take part in more boating.
Youths gain useful first aid experience, learning how to treat basic medical emergencies and how to deal with emergency situations.
Youths are guided on ways to keep their bodies and minds healthy. They are also equipped with skills to help their peers do the same.
Youths learn vital computer skills, as well as how to use other technology, such as cameras etc., to express themselves creatively.
Youths get involved in keeping the earth clean and litter-free. They learn about recycling, conservation, and how to live a greener life.
We love it when girls decide to join us! And it’s never too late to start! If you know of a young adult aged between 18 and 30, contact us to find out how she can start.
