The NSW & ACT Girl Guides community has announced a merger with Girl Guides NT.

Starting in January 2020, Girl Guides NSW, ACT and NT will have 7,800 members as a single organisation. This merger will allow the groups to collaborate between states and territories and expand learnings. 

Through this partnership, Girl Guides NT will benefit from greater access to resources and opportunities, as well as the operational benefit of a larger association. 

The NT community hope to share their unique experiences and perspectives with the NSW & ACT members, to further support the growth and empowerment of the next generation of Australian women.  

“I have a brilliant team of Leaders and we will work well with the NSW and ACT teams. It is important to have fresh ideas and the chance to network, especially for our adult members so they can share that with the girls. I want to make this community as big and beautiful as it can be," said Girl Guides NT Regional Manager, Letitia Baldwin.

“I think the opportunities are going to be endless; NSW & ACT have an exciting range of things for girls to do and now we will be able to leverage this and get the girls involved in so many more activities. It is great to know we’re not alone; we are a part of a large network. I am looking forward to NT standing proud and showing off what we can do."
