Planning a Larger Girl Event

Step One – THINK about Planning Your Event and Budgeting

Ask yourself the following Questions:

• How many Units is it for?
• What is the overall budget? – Event budgets must be approved by the Event Coordinator   and are to be self-supporting.
• What branch(es) is the event most suitable for?
• Can girls from other Communities attend or is this only for Girls in a Community(ies)?
• Where and when will it be?
• How long will the event be?
• What type of event will it be?
• Will this be a green, yellow or red Safe Guide event?
• How much will each girl and Guider have to pay (if anything)?
• Is my event eligible for event subsidy? Click here to find out about financial assistance.
• What is the best name to describe and market my event (eye-catching!)?
• Is the purpose of the event a fundraiser? If so, fill out FR.1 Application for Fundraising Approval
NOTE: In Ontario the FR. 1 is submitted to executive.coord@guidesontario.org NOT your ACL

• Will there be a crest? If so, crest approval needs to be sought   http://www.guidesontario.org/forms/crest%20approval%20application.pdf
