Start your Guiding Adventure
When do unit meetings start?
Log in to your registration account to see your child’s most up-to-date unit details.
As we prepare for the Guiding year in September, volunteers and staff are working hard to finalize details for each unit. Meeting details are tentative and some start dates may be confirmed closer to the beginning of the Guiding year.
If the unit's start date is not posted in your registration account by the end of September or you haven’t heard from a unit leader, contact us at info@girlguides.ca. Be sure to include your child’s name and iMIS number, using the same email address associated with your registration account, to avoid delays. You can also call us at 1-877-564-6188 for more information.
If you registered your child after the unit’s start date, please wait for a unit leader to reach out with the meeting plan before attending. Some units may meet at alternate locations for special events, so it’s important to confirm first. If you haven’t heard from a unit leader within one week of registering, reach out to the contact information above so we can help ensure a leader connects with you.
Note: Don't forget to check your junk, spam, promotional, or other email folders in case unit communications have been filtered there.

With peers her own age and caring adult volunteers by her side, she’ll gain:
- Confidence to try new things and speak up
- Leadership skills to make a difference
- Friendships that build connection and belonging
- Resilience to tackle challenges
- A sense of purpose through community involvement
She’ll grow in ways that will stay with her for life — and you get a front-row seat to watch her shine.

Payment options for unit expenses
You can conveniently pay for unit expenses (such as camp fees and dues) by setting up Girl Guides of Canada (GGC) as a payee through your personal online banking. Each girl member has a unique 20-digit code that includes the unit banking number and her membership ID number.
To confirm the banking number, check with her unit leaders. For instructions on setting up an online bill payment with GGC, see our Quick Tip Guide: Online Payment Instructions.
Many units can also accept payments using a Square device for local activities or cookies. Check with your unit leaders to see if this option is available for your unit.
Note: Registration fees must be paid through the National Girl Guide online registration system and cannot be completed using online bill payments.

Guiding is even better when you get involved. Here’s how you can support her journey:
-
Ask questions. After meetings, ask open-ended questions about what she did and learned. You’ll see her confidence grow as she shares new knowledge.

Join cookie season! Girls at all branch levels get to sell cookies! Proceeds from cookies sales are a primary source of funds for GGC. Selling cookies is a fun way for her to develop teamwork and communication skills. Visit our Cookie Selling Resources page to help her earn an award.
