Ireland, 1st May 2025 – More than 1,500 young girls across Ireland are on waiting lists to join Irish Girl Guides. The organisation is looking to recruit an additional 130 enthusiastic, responsible, and compassionate women to join their dedicated Leader Teams and play a significant role in shaping girls’ lives. Irish Girl Guides (IGG) is proud to launch a recruitment campaign for new Leaders. Women who will “Inspire, Empower and Enjoy” their time volunteering with Irish Girl Guides.
Joining IGG as a Leader means enriching your life with new experiences and friendships and helping to shape the Leaders of tomorrow.
“I joined as a volunteer last year, and I love it! Even the training is enjoyable!” says Kim Dully Kelly, from Trim “As a Leader with Irish Girl Guides, you get to spend time with a team of fun adults plus get to be part of the girls learning and growing in confidence. After a hard day in college or if I’ve been working, they just lift my spirits!”
Established in Ireland in 1911, and part of the global World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) network; IGG has been running regular meetings and events for young women which ripples out into the community and the wider world. The Journey Programme is relevant in modern society, inclusive and enjoyable for all involved. Members young and old become more active, get off their phones; learn to think for themselves and make a difference.

Guiding is for all females over 5 years old. Together they can learn, experience, and grow in confidence, whilst having fun. The Journey Programme encourages working towards age-appropriate Badges under the areas of Teamwork, LifeSkills, Global Awareness, Change, Outdoors and Guiding Traditions, which make the organisation unique.
Guiding is a safe space where girls and young women can be themselves and do their best, with the support and guidance of their peers and Leaders. Garda vetting is required for all Leaders and training is provided.
