What is Link?
Who Are We?
Link are women aged 18 to 30 in Girl Guides of Canada who
are encouraged to support Guiding however they can, and are made aware of
opportunities for
further involvement in Guiding. (statement adopted by the Provincial Link Advisers in October
2001)
The official definition of Link is as follows (revised December 2001):
Women between the ages of 18 and 30 may register as Link Members, but may also hold positions in Guiding. Link Members are encouraged to support Guiding however they can, and may participate in activities with other Link members, Units, Districts, Divisions, Areas, and Provinces.
For women who have not been enrolled as Adult Members, the Commissioner concerned is responsible for ensuring they meet the requirements for adult enrolment, become enrolled, and are registered. They may register as individuals or groups with a District, Division, Area or Provincial Office.
Link Members wear the Link Pin. Time spent in Link is counted towards Long Service Awards. Consult local Commissioners, Link Advisers, or Provincial Offices for more information.
