Girl Guides recruiting new Leaders

The Irish Girl Guides organisation has launched a recruitment drive for 130 new Leaders, to help deal with a waiting list of 1,500 young girls who want to take up guiding, writes Brian Byrne. The IGG currently has 10,000 members across Ireland and some 1,600 volunteer Leaders.

The key attributes being sought in new Leaders are enthusiasm, responsibility and compassion, with the ability to inspire and empower the young people in their charge.

Founded in 1911 in Ireland, the Guides offer a safe space where girls from the age of five and young women can be themselves and do their best, with the support and guidance of their peers and Leaders.

Irish Girl Guides is part of the global World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts network.
