Girl Guides WA are thrilled to launch “Guides Get Hiking” thanks to support from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. This 12-month project will help Guides of all ages get outdoors and experience the fantastic trails in our State.

Whether it’s a peaceful stroll through the bush, a personal challenge rewarded with spectacular views, or an adventurous multi-day expedition – we’ll be creating opportunities for both our Guides, Olaves and Leaders to build their experience, skills, and confidence for hiking activities.

Trail Kits

Take your Guide Unit or Olave Peer Group out for a hike and we will help with the planning and paperwork!  We've got a selection of packs for some of our favourite hiking trails around Perth as well as popular campsites. The Trail Packs will give you ideas on where to go, a head start on all the logistics, and hints about what paperwork is needed (including example risk assessments for the specific trail!)

Taster Sessions

Look out for a series of State events where we will hit the trails together. Ranging from short 2-3 hour trails, to day-long adventures and overnight expeditions, these events are perfect to encourage Guides to attend individually or bring your whole unit along to!
