Ladybirds

The youngest members of Irish Girl Guides

The youngest members of Irish Girl Guides are Ladybirds. Each Ladybird learns details about herself, her community and the world around her. She learns all about Ladybirds and begins to wear her uniform. Once she has completed all tasks included in the ‘Becoming a Ladybird’ section she will receive her first badge – her Promise Pin.

Ladybirds

A three-year programme

Ladybirds is a three-year programme designed to be progressive. Ladybirds are superheroes, gaining powers as they collect their Discover, Grow and Fly Journey badges which are used to develop their rainbow-coloured superhero capes. Games, activities and badges aim to develop positive self-image, introduce Guiding values, and teach girls how to play and work well with others.


They complete badges such as Cultural Awareness, Cyber Security, Environmental Awareness, Robotics, STEM and Healthy Mind. Through a variety of activities, Ladybirds will learn a range of life skills and further their understanding of the world around them.

Ladybirds

How do they do it?

When a girl joins Ladybirds she starts attending a weekly meeting, usually during school terms and are usually 1 hour long.  
Ladybirds are explorers, collecting experiences and treasures as they complete their Journey badges – Discover, Grow, Fly.  

 

At meetings girls learn all about Ladybirds including the Song, Story, Promise, Ladybird's  Law and Motto.  A Ladybird then starts her journey by preparing to make her Ladybird Promise. She begins to wear her uniform.  Once she has completed all the challenges in the “becoming a Ladybird” journey badge, and has attended minimum 8 meetings, then she is enrolled as a Ladybird and will receive her first badge – her Promise Pin.
