Olave Program

The Olave Program enables young women aged 18-30 (known as 'Olaves') to serve, support and succeed. The Program aims to facilitate personal challenges through a flexible network, with a particular focus on service. It provides a voice for the young women of Guiding in this age group.

Olaves seek to challenge themselves under areas of the Olave Program Framework and can choose to complete awards under the Olave Award Structure.

The Olave Program encourages us to:

  -  Show our commitment to Guiding through the PROMISE AND LAW.

  -  Support OUR COMMUNITY through voluntary service to Guiding and the wider world.

  -  Celebrate and develop a deeper understanding of Guiding through HERITAGE AND TRADITIONS.  

  -  Foster cultural acceptance and strengthen global links through experiencing INTERNATIONAL GUIDING.

  -  Support, encourage and learn from each other through SOCIAL NETWORKS.

  -  Grow as individuals through pursuing opportunities for SELF DEVELOPMENT.

Olaves have many opportunities to represent Guiding and young women locally, nationally and internationally through positions on committees, at events and volunteering.
