I would like to become a Girl Guide Leader:

The Parent Liaison Role
In the Gininderra District we aim to have a Parent Liaison representative for each unit to help with communication between the parents of the unit, the Leaders and the District Support Group. The Parent Liaison helps the leaders with account keeping; reports on unit activities and concerns to the Support Group and likewise reports Support Group news to the unit leaders and parents; coordinates unit involvement in Support Group fundraising; and promotes and enhances parent involvement in the unit and communication with the unit leaders. To thank Parents for taking on this role the District offers a 20% discount on District fee contributions. If you are interested in becoming a Parent Liaison representative please talk to the Unit Leaders or email us via the Contact Us page.
