General Introduction
Our Guiding Movement first started in Ireland in 1911. We are part of a world-wide
Movement which gives girls the opportunity for training in the development of character
and service to others. They learn to foster a love of country and a sense of citizenship.
They are encouraged to have international goodwill by having contact with girls of other
countries.
Programmes
| Ladybirds: |
(5 to 7yrs) They follow a programme which helps them become aware of others,
themselves and the world around them. |
| Brownies: |
(61/2 to 11yrs) They help others, enjoy the out-of-doors and learn crafts and skills
while pursuing Interest Badges. |
| Guides: |
(101/2 to 16 yrs.) The Patro System helps them take responsibility for their own
actions at camp, on hikes, at meetings or giving service to others. |
| Senior Branch: |
(14 to 21yrs) Rangers (15 to 18 yrs.) Young Leaders. Rangers follow various challenges
and set their own pace within the Movement. Young leaders work with the different
Branches. Girls may belong to one or both sections. |
