The First Thompson Guides are looking for some new leaders to help with this year’s program.

Girl Guides provides opportunities for young girls to socialize with one another and to learn important life skills along the way.

Emily Pruder, a Unit Guider here in the City, explains that the leaders and the guides work together to determine what activities are planned for the year.

“At the start of each year, we ask them what are the things they want to be doing, what kind of skills they want to learn, and experiences they want to have. Based on their feedback, we build our program so that it’s really tailored to what they want to do.”

This year, activities will resume in mid-September.

For those considering becoming a leader, a criminal record check and vulnerable person check are required.

If you want more details you can call or text District Commissioner Marlies Cook at 431-754-5424 or listen to Thompson Today this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10.
