Get ready to Rally! Join us at Rally Around BC 2025, hosted by Girl Guide area volunteer teams, with events held across British Columbia on the weekend of May 24-25.

Our 2024 event brought together many attendees in four locations across BC. Continuing with that momentum for 2025, we will again be bringing the Rally spirit to communities near you so everyone can feel connected to our Guiding sisterhood and participants can enjoy local Rally activities with Guiding members from their areas and beyond.

General Information

What is Rally?

Rally Around BC is a very special daytime event; Girl Guides of all ages will enjoy an epic day of fun, friendship, trading crafts/crests/pins, singing songs, and more, with their Guiding units/groups. It’s a perfect way to wrap up the Guiding year by celebrating together.

Who is invited to Rally?

Girl Guide youth members and adult volunteers, registered in advance to attend.

What will we need to bring to Rally?

Yourselves, your enthusiasm, your Girl Guide uniform, your hat crafts, your crests/pins to trade, a sit-upon, a water bottle, weather-appropriate clothing, and any other items requested by your local Rally team on a kit list made available closer to the event. Many units like to make their own banners or bring a pop-up tent for shade.

How do we prepare to attend Rally?

Once you register and purchase your unit tickets, start crafting! Units bring many hat crafts and other traders to share. This is a top feature of the event. Ask your district or area about local crests you can order/purchase for trading. You can also practice some classic Girl Guide campfire songs – check out the Let’s Sing page in Member Zone for music and lyrics.

Can I join the fun without a unit?

The Island Rally team is looking for volunteers! Visit the Island Rally Volunteer Sign-up page and form to learn more. Updates will be shared in upcoming Guidepost email newsletters, and you may contact bc-rally@girlguides.ca to be put in touch with your local Rally team.
