What is a Link member?
A Link member can be any young woman in Guiding aged 18 to 30 years old. It's an open forum to connect with one another outside of being a Unit Guider.
What's the objective?
Link members participate in Guiding in whatever capacity they choose – whether that’s by completing Link Program activities, connecting with Link members and meeting other young women who share a passion for Guiding, becoming a Unit Guider, or volunteering in Guiding in another way that fits their busy schedule. Link is a great way for young women to continue their involvement in Guiding that suits their interests, skills and schedule.
What is the time commitment?
Whatever amount of time that you can commit. You don't have to participate in all the events or be at all the meetings.
Why should I be a Link member?
If you're a young Guiding member who's looking to have some fun and meet more young Guiders, this is the place to be! If you're unable to commit to regular weekly meetings or are looking for opportunities within Guiding for yourself, Link may be what you're looking for.
