Find the location of Girl Guide Associations
'Girl Guides have a unique distinction in that they founded themselves' - Robert Baden-Powell
At the first Boy Scout Rally held in London in 1909 Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of boys Scouts, was surprised at the number of girls who insisted they wanted to be Girl Scouts. He agreed that something was needed for the girls and in 1910 the Girl Guides Association was formed.
From as early as 1909 girls in Australia were forming guiding groups and by 1920 Girl Guide Associations had been formed in sis states. In 1926 the State Associations federated and formed a national organisation. Over a million Australian women have been or are still Girl Guides.

I was in the area doing an Adventure Lab when I came across this building. It is used for both Girl guides and the Scouts. I am sure Baden Powell would be pleased.

RESERVOIR
VICTORIA
This building is used by the Reservoir Girl guides as well as two other Scout Groups. It is fenced off at the time of my visit and would appear that it is undergoing major repair or refurbishment.

Koree Guide Cabin,
Mangrove Mountain, NSW
We have spent a lot of time at the scout hall just around the corner from this guide cabin, but have rarely visited it unfortunately. It is an awesome spot, set on a large bush block with a bush walk path leading to a waterfall.
The cabin itself is large and well suited for a number of games and activities.
Maybe we should organise for the scouts to head over and explore the grounds with the guides one day.

This is the original Girl Guide Hall built in Shepparton 70 years ago, and still being actively used today.
I am very familiar with it as I was a Brownie Guide Leader here for 25 years, and both of our daughters gained their Queen’s Guide Badge here with the suppport and encouragement of wonderfully dedicated leaders.
So many memories as I drive past it.
Thanks for bringing them back to me via this Locationless Doodle Bug Oz

BOWRAL, NSW
Bowral has a cute little Girl Guides hut which has been here for many years. I always wanted to be a Brownie or Girl Guide when I was a youngin' but mum wouldn't let me. Maybe it was because it was a popular thing back then. Sadly you don't see the Brownies, Guides and Scouts around as much as back 30 years ago

Waitara Girl Guides hall isn't that far from home, located in Willow Park which seems to have a very popular playground that is always in use, I guess due to the large number of units located in the area.
This Girl Guides Hall is located in Box Hill Road, Claremont, Tasmania.
Found this one while geocaching in the Baulkham Hills area. This one is host to the cache called Thammy Thprinkler. Bring some gaffer tape and about a litre or two of water.

This guide hut has been here as long as I can remember. Good utilisation of land as the Scouts building is on the same block of ground and the space pilots youth club is not that far away either. There is a good playground and picnic spot right next door.

This is the Guides hall in Red Hill in inner south Canberra. It is a vibrant unit and the hall is well kept. As a scout leader I was privileged to visit the guide hall with the wood fire blazing at an after party for the ACT Scouts and Guides Gang Show in July 2014. It was freezing outside and it was warm inside with the gang show members basking in the spirit of recent performances.
Thanks for the locationless cache Doodle Bug Oz!

Hi Doodle Bug Oz
This Guide hall is in Huonville, Tasmania located near the Huonville Recreation Centre.
I used to attend Cubs here a long time ago; then went through Scouts in the same hall.
It has always been a joint use facility, used by the Brownies and guides ever since I can remember.
Thanks for the memories.
TFTC and cheers

Burnie Girl Guide headquarters
The area was deserted today which made it easy to grab the required photo. On a Saturday morning this would be impossible as the netball courts are next door.
My mum is a retired guide leader but she still attends the Trefoil Guild meetings held in this hall. My sisters and I went through Brownies and Girl Guides many years ago but attended in nearby Somerset. TFTC

Central Coast Guide Hall
Main Street
Ulverstone
We are very familiar with this Guide Hall as our two daughters were very active in the movement, one working her way through to the Queen's Guide Award. Our daughters were members of units which were very active outdoors, with camping and hiking high on the list of preferred activities. They learnt so many life long skills. The contribution made by volunteer Guide Leaders to the community is immense and is appreciated highly by many. The photo added to the Gallery shows Mrs y'stassie (a former volunteer leader) outside the Central Coast Guide Hall. Thanks Doodle Bug Oz for this locationless.

Lithgow Girl Guides Hall

I drive past this Hall from time to time, while geocaching, but have never seen any activity there. But perhaps I'm on Young Street at the wrong time of day.
Will try to find out more, and will then update my log.
