NEW GUIDER TRAINING

All Guiders are required to complete the 5 courses (see below) of the New Guider Learning path within their first six months of joining Girl Guides of Canada. Register online in MemberZone. 

​

When you have completed all five modules (whether on-line, in-person or a combination) contact email Area Training to receive your Red training pin. There is no automatic iMIS alert that tells us when you are due a pin, you must ask for it.

FIRST AID TRAINING 

The Training Team has had several enquiries about First Aid Training. There are no plans at this time for Area to sponsor a First Aid training in 2024/2025. Guiders should attend any First Aid training available in the community even though they are more expensive than a Guiding sponsored training. 

 

Remember to check your District Guidelines about financial support for First Aid Training. Depending on your District Guidelines, Districts may pay from 1/3 or up to 1/2 of the cost, Units may cover a portion, leaving the Guider to cover the remainder of the cost.  No Guider should have to pay the full cost of First Aid Training.

​

If you have any questions about training please email the Area Training Adviser. 

​

TRAINING ON DEMAND

What do you want to learn? How can we help you? Area Training is piloting Training on Demand (TOD) for Guiders (minimum of 6 participants).

This is a perfect opportunity to add a training component to your District meeting! Or join with a neighbouring District for an event.

​
