2) SAFE GUIDE

If you are looking for virtual Safe Guide trainings,   

look in one of two places:

1)  BC website under Member Services-->Training--->Training Resources.  Any BC sponsored trainings will be listed here.

​​

2)  National website Memberzone-->Training-->National Training  Calendar.    Any virtual Safe Guide trainings available to any member will be listed on the calendar.

​​

3) NEW GUIDER TRAINING

All Guiders are required to complete the 5 courses (see below) of the New Guider Learning path within their first six months of joining Girl Guides of Canada. Register online in MemberZone. 

​​

When you have completed all five modules (whether on-line, in-person or a combination) contact email Area Training to receive your Red training pin. There is no automatic iMIS alert that tells us when you are due a pin, you must ask for it.

4) FIRST AID TRAINING 

The Training Team has had several enquiries about First Aid Training. There are no plans at this time for Area to sponsor a First Aid training in 2024/2025. Guiders should attend any First Aid training available in the community even though they are more expensive than a Guiding sponsored training. 

 

Remember to check your District Guidelines about financial support for First Aid Training. Depending on your District Guidelines, Districts may pay from 1/3 or up to 1/2 of the cost, Units may cover a portion, leaving the Guider to cover the remainder of the cost.  No Guider should have to pay the full cost of First Aid Training.

​​

If you have any questions about training please email the Area Training Adviser. 

​​

TRAINING ON DEMAND

What do you want to learn? How can we help you? Area Training is piloting Training on Demand (TOD) for Guiders (minimum of 6 participants).

This is a perfect opportunity to add a training component to your District meeting! Or join with a neighbouring District for an event.
