Guiding Essentials for New and Existing Unit Leaders

Join Leaders from across Western Australia for a day of sharing ideas, building confidence, and exploring what makes Guiding so special. Whether you're new to your role or have years of experience, this interactive day will give you practical tools, fresh inspiration and the chance to learn alongside other passionate volunteers.

Across four engaging sessions, we'll explore the heart of Guiding, from the Guide Promise and Law to creating a strong sense of belonging, supporting meaningful girl-led leadership and recognising the growth of both Guides and Leaders. Expect plenty of discussion, hands-on activities and opportunities to share what's working in your own Unit, because some of the best ideas come from each other.

Leaders working towards their Unit Leader or Assistant Unit Leader Qualification can also complete the Leadership Qualification Training requirements by attending all four sessions, removing the need to attend the online qualification training course.
