Ceilidh Area is the northern most point of our province, also known as Cape Breton Island.
The island is divided into four provincial counties: Cape Breton, Victoria and Richmond and Inverness which includes five reserves of the Mi'kmag Nations: Eskasoni, Membertou, Wagmatcook, Waycobah and Potlotek/Chapel Island.
Ceilidh Area has four Guiding Districts covering the general locations of
- Cairdeas DS: Port Hawkesbury, St. Peters and Louisdale
- Coastal DS: New Waterford, Louisbourg, Dominion, Port Morien and Glace Bay
- Ocean View DS: The North Side, Sydney River, Sydney Forks, Westmount, Coxheath and Big Pond
- Two Rivers DS: Sydney & Marion Bridge
The Area is managed by a group of dedicated volunteers who provide programming for girls and adult leadership and training opportunities.
