This exciting new initiative was circulated in the winter 2000 issue of the Canadian Guider. It invites everyone to incorporate sports into Guiding activities as another way to include fun and action in Guiding activities.
Sports are an ideal tool for membership recruitment and retention.
Girls who are interested in sport can continue their enjoyment and benefit from Guiding and those who are interested in Guiding become interested in sports. Sports promote fair play and teamwork, foster leadership skills and develop health and fitness behaviours for a lifetime of activity. These values are very much a part of our Guiding programs. The term Famous 5 refers to the five women who took part in the 'Persons' Case. The Alberta Branch has created a crest representing the Famous 5 and a challenge to Members to learn more about these remarkable women.
