In September 2018, Girl Guides of Canada is launching our brand new program for every branch of Guiding – and we want you to be part of our Girls First launch parties.
Two ways to celebrate
1. Organize your own local Girls First launch party
The Launch Party Toolkit will help you plan the ULTIMATE celebration for girls in your unit or community this fall. You'll find tips and trick to help you plan a dynamic Girls First launch party, with all of the elements needed to make it a truly girl-driven event. The Launch Party Toolkit is designed to support girls in planning a girl-driven event, with support as needed from adult allies.
National events are being held on Saturday, September 29. Find a date that works well for you and those involved in your launch party.
