Mission Statement
The Irish Girl Guides is a uniquely girl-only, youth-driven, active and dynamic organisation. It offers a varied and exciting programme for girls and young women aged 5-30, and opportunities for Leaders of all ages. As an all-female organisation, the girls are free to progress and express themselves in a comfortable setting. They enjoy the activities without any pressures and learn to be themselves in a safe environment while learning the skills that will one day help them to be responsible citizens and adults. By participating in a variety of outdoor and indoor games, activities and challenges, girls from age 5+ develop confidence, independence and essential life-skills and enjoy opportunities for fun, adventure and travel.
About This Cause
We have a strong emphasis on the outdoors, environment, community responsibility and teamwork. The girls’ self-esteem and leadership skills are developed through their local weekly meeting as they progress through Guiding. The Irish Girl Guides actively promotes diversity and inclusion and welcomes girl and young women from all walks of life. As we are part of a worldwide movement (the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) of over 10 million girls and young women in 150 countries, the girls' awareness of global issues and sense of solidarity with their fellow Guides around the globe is increased. The girls learn all about campaigning and advocacy and there are also wonderful travel opportunities and camps abroad for our Guides (age 10-14) and Senior Branch members (age 14-30). Most people will remember these camps and travel opportunities as life-changing experiences or the best experiences of their lives. They develop strong bonds and often make lifelong friends in Guiding. IGG frequently comes up with new and exciting initiatives for all their members to get involved in e.g. National Good Turn Week, Cookie Month, World Thinking Day. Members work towards the achievement of Interest Badges by doing their best to complete a series of challenges. Our current badges include Healthy Mind, Friendship, Farmer, Musician, Arts & Crafts, Engineering, STEM, Camper, Nature Observer, Aviation and many others. Irish Girl Guides is committed to working towards the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and have specific badges for some SDGs - #3 Good Health; #12 Responsible Consumerism; #14 Life Under Water. We believe girls should feel free to be themselves and our aim is to give them the confidence to embrace their individuality while becoming active global citizens.
