Lones

Lones may be the answer for you! As a Lone you can continue in Guiding by working long distance with a Guider. Lones earn badges, do service projects, play games and participate in fun activities. Lones can take part in camps, trips, selling cookies and special events. You will receive regular packages by e-mail and regular mail. Your Guider will call or e-mail to chat often. You’re never alone when you’re a Lone!

• I am a Ranger and my mom is being transferred to Germany. How will I complete my Chief Commissioner’s Gold Award?

• Our Leader became ill and closed the Unit. How can we finish our year?

• I like going to Brownies but because I do competitive figure skating, my mom says I have to make a choice. Is there another way?

• Since I became very ill it is difficult to attend Guides every week. What can I do until I feel better?

• We moved to a town in Northern Ontario. I miss my Pathfinder friends and all the fun we had. I wish I could still be in Pathfinders.

Lones assist girls from any branch to continue the experience of fun and adventure with Guiding. Girls join Lones for various reasons: Guiding may not be available in their home town, their unit meets on a night they have another commitment, or they are leaving the country and wish to remain a Girl Guide in Canada. A girl/youth Member can be a Lone for the full year or just part of the year, which every suits her schedule.

Lones operate at the Provincial level. The Provincial Lones Adviser is responsible for Lones in Ontario.
