When it comes to making sure Girl Guides is the place where every girl feels she belongs, it’s important to go straight to the experts – girls themselves. For a second year, the Girls’ Voice Survey (GVS) was sent out to girl members at the end of the Guiding year. This is one of the ways we try to capture the experiences of Girl Guides of Canada (GGC) members on their journey through Guiding. A total of 5, 593 girl members across Canada (including 4, 354 parents of Spark, Brownie, and Guide members) responded to the survey.   We received feedback on a ......
 


It’s not the arrival of red cups at Starbucks or endless Black Friday emails that does it. For me, proof that the holidays are near comes from the spirit of service that seems to bubble up around this time each year. Acts of service become overt and mainstream during the holidays. Pretty much everyone — schools and employers, places of worship and sports teams — get into the spirit, launching efforts to collect and donate items like jackets, food, and toys for those who are less fortunate. To that, I say: bravo! Everyone, myself included, needs a reminder of what ......
 


Somewhere in Colorado, there’s a merit badge counselor who can smile with pride. When he was a Scout in Colorado, Derrick Goold earned the Emergency Preparedness merit badge while attending summer camp at Ben Delatour Scout Ranch in the BSA’s Longs Peak Council. “I learned the importance of reacting calmly, with purpose, and assuredly, ” Goold says. “I remember something that one of the counselors said that day: ‘If you’re looking around for someone to act in a moment of need and don’t see anyone, then you’re the person you’re looking for.'” Some three decades later, Goold was that person. ......

How much does a year of Scouting really cost? With the 81% increase (from $33 to $60) in annual dues imposed by the BSA national organization starting in January 2020, there has been plenty of hand wringing, teeth-gnashing, and hair-pulling in angst, anguish, and apprehension. So, I was curious just how much that mandatory fee increase really affects the full cost of being involved in Scouting for a year. I made a poll to collect data from Scouting families. The data is only what people estimate and share, and won't exactly match your situation, but it gives a rough idea of ......
 


Unlike other Cub Scout diamond-shaped rank badges, the Webelos badge is an oval, similar to Scouts BSA rank badges. Webelos also wear tan uniforms instead of the blue ones that younger Cubs wear. But all Cub Scouts must earn the Bobcat badge before earning any other rank. So, what if you’re new to Scouting and your Scout joins as a Webelos? Can you put that diamond-shaped Bobcat badge on the uniform’s left pocket? Yes, you can. The National Cub Scouting Committee recently approved this allowance, and it’s effective immediately. The Guide to Awards and Insignia will be updated to reflect ......
