About Irish Girl Guides - Eastern Region
The Irish Girl Guides is a uniquely girl-only, youth-driven, active and dynamic organisation. It offers a varied and exciting programme for girls and young women aged 5-26, and opportunities for Leaders of all ages.
In an all-female organisation, the girls are free to progress and express themselves in a comfortable setting. They enjoy the activities as they can 'just be girls' without any pressures & learn to be themselves in a safe environment while learning the skills that will one day help them to be responsible citizens & adults.
We have a strong emphasis on the outdoors, environment, community responsibility and teamwork. The girls' self-esteem and leadership skills are developed as they progress through Guiding. The Irish Girl Guides actively promotes diversity and inclusion.
