Girl Guides is an international organization for women and girls to empower them, build their self esteem, enables girls to be confident, resourceful and courageous, and to make a difference in the world. It is called Girl Guides in Canada, Girl Scouts in the U.S., and Girlguiding in the UK to name a few. There are 145 countries that are a part of W.A.G.G.G.S. (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts), Canada, the U.S., and the United Kingdom being three of them. Guiding was founded 100 years ago in England, in 1910. In Canada, we are having several big celebrations country wide!
If Julia was with us still, I would have been counting down the days until she could have joined to start as a Spark, at age 5. I think she would have loved the outdoors like her mommy, loved singing around the campfire and singing songs, loved being silly with her friends, loved all the crafts, and loved the forever bonds (sisterhood) one can make with the women and girls that are a part of this association.
