A specialty community consists of one or more Guiders who work together as a committee, taking on various tasks, assignments or experiences specific to the community. Specialty Communities are established by the ACL, reviewed annually and may exist for however long they are needed.
To establish a new Specialty Committee, the ACL must email the Member Unit Support Team at memberunitsupport@girlguides.c
a. Please provide the group with a name, as well as the names and iMIS number for the individuals you wish to be placed on the rosters. Members can be added and removed as needed and do not have to be from the community directly. Trefoil Guild members may also be included. Once placed on these rosters, Guiders will become a member of the community even if they are not associated with a unit in that community.
If an established Speciality Community exists within the community during a previous Guiding year, ACLs will be asked to review the list of members and advise staff if they wish for the group to continue. It is at the discretion of the ACL to open and close Specialty Communities as needed.
Some examples of Specialty Communities are:
- Community Training Events
- Special Events
- Awards
- Resource Guiders
- Community Campfire
- Community Camp
