Do you want to be part of our little secret? It’s something a lot more people should
know about and we would like to share our fun and fellowships with you and a friend today
… and you can enjoy the satisfaction of doing it!
Here’s a brief outline about Baden-Powell Guilds generally:
• The Baden-Powell Guild is an adult organization sharing
fellowship between former Scouts, Guides, Leaders and Committee persons with other
interested persons and supporters at Local, State, National & International levels. Anyone
may join a Guild – no previous Scouting or Guiding experience is required.
• All Guild Sub-Branches and their members enjoy close links with
the Scouting and Guiding Movements and share their ideals. They are solely independent of
these Movements in their activities and are an integral part of a State Guild in each
State of Australia – and the Australian Guild at the national level.
• The age of our members can be between 18 years and 80+ years
– and it does not cost much to be a member – just an affordable joint annual
club membership and affiliation fee.
• There is no set uniform in Queensland – just what you
normally wear plus a special scarf of distinction to show you are a member. Some states
have a uniform. Some Guilds have a local arrangement. Some just wear a blue akubra
broad-brimmed hat. Decisions are left entirely to the local Guild members themselves.
• Here are just some of the Social Activities
we foster – there are many more … …
(a) Barbecues, picnics, dinners, social get-togethers, family outings,
theatre & community function nights
(b) Caravanning, touring local areas, special camps, excursions,
cruises, major tours, beach fun days
(c) Fishing trips, games and fun evenings, wine bottling, hobby nights,
Boys or Girls nights outs
(d) Swimming, golf charity days, tenpin bowling challenges, and other
fun-sport days
• Some of our Service Activities in helping
young people and the community can include:
(a) Selected community fund raising events, catering projects, assisting
with community & Eco projects
(b) Assisting Scout and Guide Groups, other youth groups, the
underprivileged, and other special groups
• The Educational Benefits for members by
learning by doing include:
(a) Creating new friendships; helping others in times of need; Hosting
and taking responsibility
(b) Promoting International Relations and learning from others
irrespective of religion, culture or race
(c) Enjoying group social travel holidays and going to conferences
(Local, State, National & International)
(d) Enjoying worldwide contact with over 30 affiliated countries within
the world community
