February is a special month for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts worldwide. February 15 to 22 marks Guide-Scout week, which is a week dedicated to holding special joint activities to promote our Movements. If there is a Scout group in your area, consider getting together with them to celebrate and promote Guiding. The Guide-Scout Week Kit will be posted soon on Member Zone, with great ideas on how your girls can participate. Please share your success stories and event photos with us atcommhelp@girlguides.ca.
