Term 3 Open Night Campfires

Host a Campfire that Sparks connections

After the success of our recent Open Days, we’re keeping the momentum going with a Term 3 Open Night Campfire–a magical way to continue growing GIrl Guides in 2025!

Whether you run it solo or team up with another Unit, this is your chance to share the spirit of Guiding with families, friends, neighbours, ex-Guides, Trefoil Guild Members and/ or community members by inviting them to gather around the fire for a night of songs, stories, and connection.

It’s more than just marshmallows and music–it’s about:

• Showcasing the fun and adventure of Guiding to potential new Members

• Reconnecting with past Members and fostering intergenerational ties

• Raising your Unit or District’s profile in the local community continued over page

• Celebrating the traditions that make Guiding unforgettable.

For newcomers to Campfires, look out for our simple online toolkit, which is coming soon with songs, ideas, and tips to make planning easy. Have you got a Guide who could use this towards their Peak Achievement Award?

Word of mouth is the heart of how Guiding has grown for generations. When a family hears from someone they trust–a Leader, a parent, or an ex-Guide or neighbour who’s seen the joy Guiding brings–it carries far more weight than any brochure ever could.

That’s why an open night campfire is such a golden opportunity. It naturally sparks conversations: kids go home singing the songs, adults reconnect perhaps with their own memories, and suddenly everyone’s talking at school pickup, at work and around dinner tables. So pick a date this term and run your own Open Night Campfire.

Let’s spark something special–Let’s all turn up the glow and keep the Guiding Flame burning bright!
