The Orbost Girl Guides are opening their doors to the community this month, inviting local girls and potential adult volunteers to experience the fun and friendship of guiding at a special “Come and Try” night.
Scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, the event is designed to give prospective members a firsthand look at the diverse range of activities the guides offer, while also seeking community-minded adults to help lead the next generation.
Girl Guiding provides a unique space for girls to build essential life skills, grow in confidence, and form lifelong friendships.
From outdoor adventures and camping to creative arts and community service projects, the program encourages girls to challenge themselves and discover their potential in a supportive, girl-led environment.
However, the success of the local unit relies heavily on the dedication of adult volunteers.
The Orbost Girl Guides are putting out a call to adults who may be interested in becoming leaders or casual helpers.
No previous experience in guiding is necessary, as full training and support are provided.
The open night will feature a variety of hands-on activities, allowing girls to get a taste of the guiding spirit while parents and potential volunteers can chat with current members about the commitment and benefits of joining.
Whether you are a parent looking for an enriching activity for your daughter, or an adult looking to give back to the Orbost community, the “Come and Try” night is the perfect opportunity to see why guiding remains a cherished tradition in East Gippsland.
