I hope you have enjoyed your first couple of months of Guiding and have had a chance to get to know the other Guiders. If you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or to your Community Guider, (insert name), who I've copied on this email. 

Here is the link to the New Guider Corner on Member Zone that has all kinds of resources that you can use (you will need to log in to access it).

PMBR Introduction

Good afternoon (insert name),

My name is (insert name) and I am the Administrative Community Leader for community ##, which includes (insert location).

I see that you have applied to become a Girl Guides leader (Guider) and are currently going through the screening process. I thought I'd reach out to introduce myself and ask if you had a unit in mind to volunteer with? We have a few units that could use an extra Guider and I'm very happy to share some potential placements based on your availability, location and interest (for example, Brownies, Guides or Sparks).

If you'd prefer to chat in person, please let me know and I can set up some time for us to talk.

Thank you again for volunteering with Girl Guides and I look forward to hearing from you!

Final PRC Reminder:

Hi (insert name),

I hope you are doing well!

I wanted to reach out and remind you that your PRC (Police Record Check) will expire in the middle of (insert date). You should have already received a link to complete the process but if you need any help, have questions or need more information, please let me know.

Thank you.

PRC Expired:

Hi (insert name),

I hope you are doing well!

I wanted to reach out concerning your PRC (Police Record Check) as it has expired.  If you would like to continue with Girl Guides as a Unit Guider, you will need to complete a new PRC. Please let me know and I'll put you in touch with the team to set you up with the link.

Thanks for your help with the above.

Cookie Order Reminder:

I am following up with units that have not yet placed an order for the Spring 2022 Classic Cookie campaign and your unit is showing on that list. As a reminder, units cannot opt-out of cookie campaigns. The good news is there are no minimum order requirements and you can order as few as one or two cases for your unit. Every unit must participate in cookie sales.

Although the deadline has passed, it is not too late to place an order. You can confirm your unit’s cookie order no later than (insert date) at noon ET.  The online ordering portal is still open for late submissions and orders can be submitted using theCookie Ordering Form.

Down load the Step-by-Step Ordering Guide.

Thank you in advance for your help and please let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Out of Office Samples:
