Link is a membership activity for young members aged 19 to 30. Link members participate in Guiding in whatever capacity they choose – whether that’s by completing Link program activities, connecting with Link members and meeting other young members who share a passion for Guiding, becoming a Unit Guider, or volunteering in Guiding in another way that fits their busy schedule. Link is a great way for young members to continue their involvement in Guiding in a way that suits their interests, skills and schedule.
