The Canberra Girl Guide story begins in 1926 with Miss Jessica Finlay forming the first company in Giles Street Kingston. The movement grew, war interrupted, and ACT districts expanded to Mt Majura North Canberra Black Mountain South Canberra Yarralumla Woden Valley. Since 1943 ACT Queens Guide Marcia de Plater led to 16 Queens Guides and current membership over 700.

Call for women leaders to join Brownies Guides and Ranges
We face a surge of recruits from Melbourne and other cities to Canberra. Long waiting lists exist for Brownies Guides and Ranges due to incoming families while we lack volunteers to serve as leaders and Guiders. No training or experience is required. merely a desire to lead. Community halls in new suburbs need support and fundraising.
