Longford girl guides get involved in Oíche na hÓige 2025 event
It is a new national celebration of youth work and young people taking place across Ireland
As part of Oíche na hÓige 2025, a new national celebration of youth work and young people taking place across Ireland, members of Irish Girl Guides units will be in St Mary’s Hall, Lanesboro from 5:30pm to 8pm on Friday, November 21.
The evening will feature activities led by young people, supported by their Leaders, showcasing the fun of Girl Guides meetings. Leaders will be available to share information about Irish Girl Guides, how to join a unit, and become a volunteer.
Irish Girl Guides are made up of Ladybirds, ages 5-7, Brownies, ages 7-10, Guides 10-14, and Senior Branch ages 14 up. It is a girl-only, non-competitive group, meeting weekly during term time, to work through our Journey programme.
Through age-appropriate activities and games, girls are introduced to the outdoors, global themes, teamwork, leadership, and life skills.
With units in Longford and Roscommon, there are opportunities for all ages and for anyone wishing to volunteer with a Leadership team to guide girls on their journey.
Irish Girl Guides has approximately 11,000 members with 1,600 volunteer leaders providing an informal educational programme of fun and challenging activities that foster confidence and leadership skills in girls and young women, enabling them to develop to their full potential and to become responsible citizens.
The Irish Girl Guides are a youth-driven, dynamic organisation offering a varied and exciting programme for girls and young women aged 5-30, and opportunities for women of all ages. Join us for an evening of fun, food, and information!
