Links for Leaders in Girl Guides
and Girl Scouts:
Helping adult and girl members use the Internet and World Wide Web
Last updated: November 22, 1997
What?
This Website is a teaching tool for members of Girl Guides and Girl
Scouts to learn about the World Wide Web and a list of great links.
If you're new to the Internet, or are just learning, the
columns offer step by step lessons to help you learn how to the use
Internet in Guiding.
If you are already comfortable on the Web, check
out the columns anyway -- they have many more links than show up on
this page.
You might want to bookmark WebGuides to use with your girls, or share
the URL with a sister who is not so sure about how to use the Internet
and the Web in Guiding or Scouting.
WebGuides contains copies of each column, which in turn have many links
to other sites that:
- are directly about Guiding and Scouting
- may not be about Guiding but are useful for program activities (nature,
camp, safety, etc.) for all branches and levels
- show craft ideas and how-tos that can be adapted for all branches and
levels
- carry songs and other campfire ideas
- etc., etc., etc.!
Each WebGuides column is divided into three parts...
- HOW is a (very basic) definition of something Web or Net-related
- WHERE links to Websites that tie in with upcoming Guiding needs and
general Guiding information
- GUIDERS’ OWN points to fun or interesting sites that may not be directly
useful for Guiding, but may bring you pleasure or lead you on a new trail....
The Columns:
- WebGuides
#1 Surfer's basic equipment (& some great GGGS links to start you
off)

#2 Start your search engines (& many, many links to international
pages)

#3 Easy e-mail (& where to find other leaders on the Net), great

- WebGuides
#4 How to Chat with other Guides in real time, the Guide Zone, hiking
the arduous West Coast Trail, GSUSA's 85th anniversary party, two electronic

the girls; Thinking Day on the Air and on the Internet; a Remembrance Day
tribute to "In Flanders Fields" and the poppies Canadians wear
'lest we forget.' Plus, a glorious example of the best a Website can be
(... educational AND fun!).
