Girls across Victoria are invited to join the Girl Guides Victoria program.
To get started, go to our LOCATION and find a Unit that suits you, and click on the Email District button to enquire about your child trialling the Girl Guide program in your local area. Be sure to check that the day of the Unit meetings is suitable for your family, and the Unit meets the age needs of your child. Your enquiry will be sent to the Unit Leader to confirm current availability. We offer prospective Guides the opportunity to experience the Guiding program firsthand, for up to 3 meetings before joining!
We even have an online Guiding program, called Go Girls, which is delivered virtually for those in remote areas, with transportation issues, medical concerns or on a waitlist for an in-person Unit.
The final step in your child becoming a Girl Guide is via Youth Registration. You can join at any time through the Member Portal to begin a journey of discovery and fun, in an environment tailored to Girls, and led by Girls.

Girls can join Girl Guides from 5 years old. Girls aged between 5–17 can join Girl Guides and take part in the Guide Program. Guide Unit age ranges vary, so make sure to check your local Unit/s for ages.
The fun doesn’t stop just because you become an adult! Our extraordinary Leaders are adult members aged 18 and over. Adult members can also join peer groups such as the Olave Program for women 18–29 and Trefoil Guilds.

Girl Guide Units meet once per week on weekdays, after school and in the evenings during school terms.
