West Coast Area: Training
  • Home
We believe that girls are not the only ones to be challenged. 
For the adult member, Guiding provides a wealth of opportunities to expand your horizons, learn new skills, learn about yourself, and be a better You.

West Coast Area has the largest team of Trainers in the province, with an unmatched range of talents and expertise.
We'd love to help you learn, explore, and enrich your experience as a Guider.

Current Opportunities and Coming Attractions

Communicating with Adults in Guiding 

Thursday, February 16
7:30 pm (1 hour)


This virtual session will be offered live on Zoom, and no recorded version will be made available.
Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants 24-48 hours before the session start time
Register Now!
Parents/guardians are the gateway to the girls and co-Guiders are vital to the unit's success ...

Yes, but  
  • What about the parent/guardian who says "I never read Guiding emails"
  • What about the co-Guider who texts you in the middle of your work day or whenever a question occurs to her, but won't return your emails or answer your questions?
  • Could better communications help you deal with families who are always late paying for cookies and camp?
  • Is it worth it to have a unit email account? 
  • When should you phone instead of email, when should you text instead of phone, when is social media the way to go?
  • Do your emails need to be sharper and more informative?

Join us for an hour on Zoom, from the comfort of your home, to tackle topics like this - and more.  As a participant-driven session, we want YOUR scenarios and questions -- register by February 10 and tell us what you'd like to have covered (no identifying details will be used during the session).  There will also be opportunity for on-the-spot Q&A.

Attendance at this session will be recorded in iMis and will count towards your Enrichment (Yellow) Training Recognition pin.
