Bridging Rivers Area Girl Guides

Project Lend A Hand, "Helping ALL girls in Saskatchewan participate in the fun and challenge of Girl Guides.

All girls in Saskatchewan have the opportunity to belong to Girl Guides.  The registration fee may be more than some girls can pay, but that shouldn't stop them from fully participating in the Guiding Program.  Project Lend A Hand ensures that every girl has the opportunity to belong, make new friends, and challenge her own abilities.

If you would like to apply to Project Lend A Hand, or need more information, please contact the Area Office (306-652-3275). 

To apply:

• Get an application form through the Bridging Rivers Area Office when you register your daughter for Guiding (or click the yellow button above)
• Outside support for the application must be provided by an adult who is familiar with the girl's circumstances.  Examples are an adult who may be a teacher, principal, religious leader, or professional in social work or family services.  This support is provided by completing the "Supporter" section of the application form.
• The completed form is to be returned to the Area office within 30 days of submitting the registration forms.
• The application is submitted by Bridging Rivers Area to the Provincial Office and will be reviewed by the Lend a Hand committee.
• The maximum subsidy for 2011-12 is $105, but a family may request less than that.  Families are encouraged to pay what they can beyond the minimum $20 stated.  The payment can be made either when registering or when turning in the Lend A Hand application form. This partial membership fee payment qualifies for the Active Families Benefit

 Subsidies will be granted in the order the applications are received until all funds have been distributed.
