The most common way to get involved is as one of our unit Guiders. These are the leaders that plan, prepare, and execute our unit's weekly meetings and special events. Units usually meet once per week for about an hour and a half, plus occasional special events (including some overnight events like sleepovers and camps). Taking into account planning and other related tasks, a reasonable estimate of the time commitment is 10-15 hours per month. Our Units meet Downtown, 8th & Alma, 25th & Oak, and 20th & Cambie., and we divide girls into branches as follows: Sparks (age 5-6), Brownies (7-8), Guides (9-11), & Pathfinders (12-14), All adult members are required to complete a screening process including an interview, a police criminal records check and one mandatory training session. Additional trainings, plus support in the form of mentorship and resources are available as well.
