GOLD
What is GOLD?
Guiding Overseas
Linked with Development (GOLD) enables young women to develop their
potential and make a difference in the world. It's a fantastic
opportunity for guiding members to travel overseas, improve
their skills, experience an amazing new culture and know that
they're having a long-term impact.
GOLD projects work in partnership with other Guide Associations
and have been making a difference for over 20 years. GOLD
delivers sustainable community-based development projects ranging
from environmental issues and sexual health to teaching leadership
skills.
GOLD 2011
In 2011 we had eight
GOLD projects going overseas for three weeks each. You can
find out about some of the adventures they had by visiting the
blogs of team Armenia,
team Guyana,
team Russia,
team Malawi,
team Chile and
team Sri Lanka. We
also had teams travelling to Fiji and Tanzania.
GOLD 2012
In 2012 GOLD will visit Armenia, Malawi, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and
Guyana with three new projects starting in Latvia, Cambodia and the
Gambia.
Eight GOLD 2012 teams have been selected and are starting to
plan their projects with their host associations. More updates
coming soon!
