I would love to own something while it’s still hot and new on the market, just once.
I already have a iPad , but winning another would be awesome,
I would happily hand that over to a young girl in the guides.For study and for fun.
Went through Brownies and then on to Girl Guides – loved it!
there is nothing like a guides biscuit, it reminds me of my childhood….could do with some again, miss the door knockers.
I would love for my 2 girls to become apart of girls guides I always wanted to but never lived in towns where it was…

Thnaks a million for your site and the work you do..
I was a Brownie leader and my girls were Brownies. Great organisation! Healthy fun-loving activities for girls. Best wishes for the future, Anne Camps
I have many happy memories of my adventures in Girl Guides. The young women of today would probably have better ideals and a much kinder way of life if they were to experience the same training and sisterhood as we did 40 years ago
My daughters were in girl guids for a few years and it taught them some valued lessons they will use in the future go grl guides
I cant believe that it is sooo long since I was a girl guide….40 years…That makes me sound old..Dont let that fool you.. I am young at heart and an ipad would be awesome…..just like the girl guides taught me great and useful things so could an ipad !!!!! Go the girl guides !!!!
The bickkies are awesome – Thank you !! we will always support the Guides !! Cheers for the hard work
never been on a girl guides b4 and would lov to know more about girl guides tour. would lov to win an ipad too a really gud opportunity to make me like girl guides more.
Go GIRLS all the best
I think the best idea for the I Pad 2 would be for them to auction it off for the Guides so the money can go back into the youth of Australia. I loved being in the guides in my younger days & so did my daughter & anything that can raise funds for them i am in it. Cheers & good luck….. ))
l remember my girl guide days, l had lots of fun learning things l wouldn’t have otherwise & remember the national camp that was a great experience.
i love it too!
I can’t believe after all these years that the guides still manage to attract young people. It beats them sitting at home and getting into trouble, good job to all you leaders for your hard work and dedication.
Did my time as a Guide and Ranger … best days of growing up and it set me on the right path as an adult. Every girl should have the chance to be a Guide. Proud to have worn the uniform.
Great organisation providing great things for girls to do. Hope they are here for many years yet
Associations like the girl guides provide a great outlet for kids as much today as they have for decades before. Hope they continue for decades to come.
good luck girls i was a proud girl guide n liked ironing my uniform it was my favorite day of the week i enjoyed the little thing we did within the community miss it a lot lol
good luck girls
This wasn’t a difficult task at all! I was a Brownie and Guide myself and my 15 year old is now in senior guides (her 9th year in Guides) and is a junior leader and working on her Queen’s Guide award. Girl Guides is a wonderfully positive group for young women and girls today.
My favourite sister was a brownie leader and my niece a girl guide, still love the cookies and loved the stories they would tell of their adventures.
I was in the Brownies and then went onto GG’s. I loved this time in my life. I especially loved it when we had to sell the GG biscuits they are the best in the world
l was always Proud to be a girl guide when l was young,, you young girls do so much more than we did way back then, and l am always proud to say, l wore that uniform and you should be too,, keep up the great work,
go girls go ! you are the ones.
I was a good Brownie – in fact my initials are LAH – Lend A Hand – Brownies and Girl Guides are great.
I was a Girl Guide, when I first came to Australia in 1957, a girl down the road invited me to come along and I stayed for 4 years, became a Pack guide for 2 years.
When my daughter turned 8 years old I joined in with the brownies and became a Brown Owl. I stayed with the Brownies for 10 years, we had great times, and I took the Brownies on Pack Holidays every year for a weekend. We spend one Pack holiday at a sheep farm in the shearers quarters, even went on a Hay ride and chased some sheep on the back of a motor bike.
Girl guides is a grea foundation for learning practical skills. I loved my guide days not that there were that many of them I was eventually a patrol leader which was great for skills later on
Good Luck girls keep up the good work.
My daughter was in the guides and I was a leader for a short time. It was a great experience for both of us.
Love the bikkies.
Hey, my favourite song was “Ging Gang Gooley” which I learnt in the Girl Guides.
I was in the girl guides in Merimbula N.S.W, Love the biscuits
Hey, my favorite song used to be “Ging Gang Gooley” which I learnt in the Girl Guides.
Great group for young girls to learn, develop and gain life-long skills to assist them in their future aspirations…go girls…for now and into the future
we always buy the girl guide biscuits.love them.glad to be able to help in that way.great thing for girlss to be in.
What a great organization. Used to buy the cookies (yum) whenever the girls were around. Go girls!
i support the girl guides whole heartletly they do a termendous job keep up the good work.
i am grateful to be given the opportunity to win an ipad 2, i am a retired girl guide and all i can say is that i used to luv it and really enjoyed alot of the activities and things that we used to do , happy camperxxxxx
Never had the chance to go to girl guides lived too far away
wonderful times for all the family
i used to be a girl guide when i was younger was the most fulfilling thing to do and with such nice people too.
Wonderful times were had by my family and I during our time in guides and brownies, son in scout and rangers, lots of fun and learning were part of the good times
Iwas aleader for many years, my Mum also was a leader. My 3 daughters were Guides & my 2 grandaughters are both Guides. It has become a family tradition. GIRL GUIDES RULE
Love to have one,,,
How I would love to win this prize for my daughter. I would like to give her a gift for being such a wonderful, responsible & hardworking girl. I love her soo much and would like to give her a surprise.
w was girl guide, many years ago, it was fun and i learnt alot, i went on to get the highest award a guide could get, the BP, my whole family got involved in the activities, camping, and fund raising, i have now joined my son up to scouts, i hope he has as much fun, makes friends, and learns as much as i did !!!!!! im proud that i was a girl guide.
I think this organisation is great as it serves to teach valuable lessons that will see the kids through their life. Positive activities. Keeps kids off the streets.
I was a brownie as a kid but wasn’t allowed to join the girl guides. I now have three young girls of my own and hope they can all join the girl guides…
Just a thought for all the people out in Japan, Girls, boys and parents, we wish you all a safe time! From an ex Pommie Girl Guide
i would love to win an ipod2 for my step daughter she has to come tolive with me and her dad as she wasnt happy with her mum she is 15yrs old and doesnt even own or have any up to date music or computer things like her friends have as her brother got everything so i would like the oppertunity to win this as i cant afford to buy as yet thanks julie.
I was a Brownie, and it’s all good!!!
This is a wonderful organization, keep up the great work, happy to promote them.
I used to be a brownie, but never made it to a girl guide. They are a great organisation and do great work
)
Can’t wait until my granddaughter is old enough to join the girl guides. Im hoping it will keep her pointed in the right direction to becoming a good human being who is a caring, sharing and compassionate woman in later life. The girl guides can have such a possitive affect on our young ladies that can put them in great standing for later on in life.
girl guide power
would love i pad have a lot g/children .they would have lot of use. i love the girl guides .im in australis nsw ,i was in brownies and raibows and girl guides as was long time ago but still remember my time in these adventures to this day
great program girl guides happy to promote thr great work they do for young girls
i always buy gir guide bikkies . they are reliably delicious, and the profits go to a great cause. please i need to win an ipad for my daughter. she said they use the apple computers at school so she wants one at home too!
Sure fun to be one.
Promoting anything for the younger children to do instead of roaming the streets or malls is the best idea ever and the GG have been around for ages and will be for ever i think .
A very good organisation! Keep up the good work – great for all ages and cultures!
what a great way to enable young women to have confidence and life skills for their future
As an almost retired leader – the past 30 years have been some of the most rewarding and fun of my adult life. Guiding is not just for the young – it’s also for the young at heart. I have learnt and laughed along side of the young and loved every minute of it. Go guiding!!!
got no chance during my time, this is good for young girls to shape them to adulthood
It would help my 7 year old doughter so much if I won this for her she could learn so much I have no idea how to use computers so if she had 1 it would keep her up2 date aspecially for school
I was a guide when younger,its great there still around.
when i was young the girl guides gave us something to do and also tought as about some skills.Glad they are still around.
Looking back now, growing up in a small country town. Being a Brownie then a Girl Guide, gave me the chance to interact with kids my own age and complete tasks to recieve a new patch for my uniform sleeve. Go Girl Guides!!
I was a girl guide growing up. It was a good experiance all girls should try it. I would be truely delightly if I won the I pad. go girl guides
I am a new member in the girl guides, I feel amazing about a lot of things. I would like win a ipod to experience more things.
As far back as I remember there has always been the Girl Guides. Congratulations on your great work. The Guides are great for young girls and promote friendship, discipline and leadership, a great start for life.
Oh how I’d love to win an ipad.
Congratulations.
Great organization! All the best with getting to 10,000!
I loved the Girl Guides as I was very shy as a young Girl and I made many new friends, and leart new things , you are a great Organisation for young and old
I remember once being a guest of a regular member of the girl guides when I was young. Seemed like a really great organisation. Keep up the good work. I would so love to win an iPad while helping a worthwhile organisation at the same time.
Keep up the great work, Girl Guides has been going for quite awhile now im 50 and I still remember all the great things they do and for great causes.
use to be a Girl guide. such a fun place for us girls. ^^ hope i win.
I’m single mum for two and I never win something in my life so it will be great if I do this time
I always loved the idea of the Girl Guides when I was little but never got the chance to join.
I made such great friends in the guides. The best thing my parents did for me
Would love to win the Ipad for a little mate who starts Chemo today
wHATS GOING ON HERE,THATS NOT WHAT I SAID
iT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE’S LOTS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS THE IPAD MORE THAN ME FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.i DONT HAVE ONE MYSELF,SO GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS.AND YES I WAS A GG IN NEW ZEALAND MANY YEARS AGO,IT WAS GREAT FUN BEING A PART OF GG,MEMORY LEAVES ME FROM WAY BACK THEN,I AM NOW 60YRS YOUNG.
My girls are enjoying guides so much. I never got to join guides when I was younger but my cousin made it to Queen’s Guide. And I am distantly related to the Baden Powells so I now I am a proud Guide Mother.
My days as a Girl Guide and a Brownie are some of my fondest memories growing up! The be prepared attitiude and life skills guiding has taught me has been such an asset in my everyday adult life!! Thank you!!!
Guiding is a family tradition..my mother, myself, my 2 daughters and 3 grand daughters have all moved up through the movement, some of us becoming leaders. It has helped produce 3 generations (so far!) of confident, responsible women who are well prepared to lead their families into to future
I was a leader for over 16 years and these were the best times. I loved watching the girls learn and achieve and have made many lifelong friends. I miss my time there with the girls but i have wonderful memories.
man i havent seen girl guides cookies for years and cant wait to get some and where can i get then from
Great to see a iconic Australian tradition still thriving. It not only brings great enjoyment in our house it but it makes a difference Australia wide. Thankyou
i would love to win an Ipad while at the same time promoting girl guides. x
Sadly I was never a GG, but many of my friends were. Just back from Honolulu where I bought a packet of GG bikkies from their stall at the market. They were very interested to hear that I buy them in Australia as well.
Think its time for a new and fresher approach to target the young girls of today… so step it up and show the energy is still there!!!!
I was in the girl guides many many years ago and I loved it. I made lots of friends and learned many skills.go girls
Any organisation which embodies altruistic values and empowers our young women to be champions in their own right, along life’s often challenging journey must be supported and congratulated.
you go girls
yo go girls
Was A Guid for a while when I was very young had a great time. The Guides do a wounderful cause to help the younger girls. I think there should be some sort of Guide
subjects in the schools to help the ones with not much self conferdence
I’m in Japan at the moment two prefectures below the epicentre of the quake, I’m sure my time as a Brownie, Girl Guide and Junior leader is helping me be prepared and stay safe and well.
I was a Brownie and then a Queen’s Guide. Great Experience.
Thank God for the Guides- they have a great impact on our young ladies. Well done to you all
Have always appreciated what the GG do for the young ladies – god bless your efforts & keep up the great work
Go u girl guides gives u so many skills to set u up in life
Also would be great to win the IPad 2
Guiding has always been a big part of my life, and it’s generational (my mother, grandmother and daughter and I have all held leadership positions).
Go the Guides!
The best experience any girl could have
fond memories of Brownies & guides, great to hear that it is still a strong basis for girls to learn many of lifes basics plus good values. xx
I remember with great fondness my days as a Girl Guide in South Australia in the 1950′s and 60′s. It was an awesome experience that helped me be what I am today. I am forevery grateful to Lady Baden Powell (whom I met in Adelaide)!
I was bullied by older girls when I was with the girl guides this is not a happy memory for me! I’d love to win the Ipad though. I have a herotic story about saving a girl from the cold she fell in frezzing water and I was the only one to lend a towel. When it came to shower time I asked my leaders for a lend of a towel and they told me it was my fault I helped that girl
I still can’t believe all this had happened to me. Im sure things have changed!
I was part of the girl guides in school and was I proud to wear that uniform. go girls go.
I was a part of the girl guides when I was younger, and was I proud. go girls go.
I used be a Girl Guide years ago and I think this is great for young girls as they get to learn diverse skills for later in life and they get more liberation and enablement
Still remember the cookie drives in Canada
Yummo girl guide cookies
I remember doing door knocking not to long ago , probably slot harder now days to sell them as you got to be carefull and very safe , we would love a iPad I’n our home so then my son could do mathmatics on line , he has alot of trouble at school , suppose to be I’n year 3 but only at a year one level 
very sad to see him struggle with his ADHD
Good luck, our family loves Girl Guides.
I LOVE IPAD 2 PLEASE THAT MY ONLY CHANCE TO HAVE MAY NOT TO USE MY FREND COMPUTER.
Oh yummy them girl guide bikkies were the best and I used to love selling them to riase money for our hall . They were never hard to sell.
an ipad sure would be more up to date than my old computer! I agree with sussi just love the bikkies ,I still remember the excitement when I was little and the guides would knock on my nans door selling them, we couldn’t wait for cuppa tea time and our limit was 2… I am now 52y so they have been around along time.
Love Girl Guides and daughter was a member. Its so important for young women / girls to have fun, learn indoor and out door life skills in safe environmental surrounds
It’s my greatest dream to an an iPad 2. I would be the happiest person if give a chance to own one
In a world filled with media star trashyness and a loss of traditional skills and care for others, the GGs provide an alternative way for young girls.
I grew up first as a Brownie and then a Girl Guide. Great memories!!!
My friend is a single mum and to win this prize would help them out with no end the girls guides have been around seems forever i used to jump out my window and go 40yrs ago i loved it thankyou guides keep going
