Youth Europe Trip

We are a branch unit of the Girl Guides of Canada; a non-profit, all-girl program that invites young girls ages 12 to 14 to challenge themselves, meet new friends and make a difference in their community and worldwide. Our focus is to help prepare these young girls to become confident, courageous and resourceful leaders. I am very pleased to inform you that the 4th Thunder Bay Pathfinder Unit will be traveling to Europe in July 2015 with the Girl Guides of Canada. Our trip to Europe will include visiting one of the World Centers (Pax Lodge in London) and travelling through many countries to learn about cultural differences between countries.

As you may imagine, a trip like this comes with a large financial commitment.  The 4th Thunder Bay Pathfinders have already started fundraiser for this event, pledging to sell 240 cases of cookies this year alone. This is a large commitment for our small group of 3 Pathfinders. However, this pledge is important and goes a long way teaching these young girls about responsibility, accountability, and financial commitment. Together, they are working towards a common goal and have trust in each other’s success.
