GIRL Guides has a proud tradition of providing fun activities, skills development and advocacy for young women and girls on the Mid North Coast.
To keep providing this valuable service, the organisation is currently seeking more volunteers in Camden Haven.
Volunteering with Girl Guides isn’t simply about supervising activities or helping run weekly meetings.
It’s about shaping a space where girls feel confident to speak up, try new things, and discover who they are.
It’s about modelling the qualities of resilience, kindness, and curiosity.
Girl Guides has always been a place where girls learn by doing.
They pitch tents, build friendships, solve problems, and learn leadership in ways that classrooms can’t always offer.
But none of that happens without adults willing to stand beside them.
When volunteer numbers drop, opportunities shrink.
Camps get cancelled. Programs get scaled back. The waiting list grows longer.
And that’s a loss not just for the girls, but for the region itself.
What many people don’t realise is that volunteering with Girl Guides is flexible, supported, and genuinely rewarding.
You don’t need special skills – just a willingness to show up.
Whether you can give an hour a week or help occasionally at events, every contribution strengthens the unit and expands what the girls can experience.
The Camden Haven Girl Guides meet on Thursdays.
For term 1 2026, the meeting runs from 5:30-7:30pm, welcoming girls between seven and 17 years old.
If you would like to know more, contact District Manager Kim Woodhouse on 0427645145 or email CamdenHavenDM@girlguises-nswactnt.org.au.
