Bridging Rivers Area Girl Guides
Girl Guide Elements
Elements are a supportive side-kick to our regular program. The program is being developed to answer the need in our membership for specialty activities. Perhaps a unit who does not camp, has some girls who would like to - they may take the Camping Element when offered.
The guidelines (subject, timing and length of session, target age group, cost etc) of each Element will depend on the Guider who is organizing it and the type of activity. Please click the button below to find out more about organizing an Element.
