The New Guider Training is a fun, interactive one day professional development session designed to give new leaders the basic skills for leading a unit. This training is also great for leaders changing branches and for leaders taking on the Contact Guider role for the first time.

The morning sessions are scheduled from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will cover Building Unit Guider Skills and All About Your Branch modules. Participants will learn group management, communication and team building skills as well as developing unit long range and short term planning. The branch specific session will include games and activities to support programming in the unit.

Guiders are asked to review the document: Because of the Girl - tips for New Guiders.

The Safe Guide module training is scheduled from 1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. and is GGC`s risk management document for managing safety in activities. Requirements for everything from girl supervision ratios, health and first aid to food safety and clothing kit lists are covered. This training is mandatory for all Guiders and must be completed within 6 months of a new Guider`s join date.

On completion of the day`s training participants will receive their red Unit Guider TEAM training pin.
