Supporting Girl Guides Australia Through Our Community Benefit Program
At Ritchies, we are proud to support Girl Guides Australia through our Community Benefit Program — a partnership dedicated to empowering girls across the nation.
What Girl Guides Australia Does
Girl Guides Australia exists to give girls the tools to own their identity, the safety to make mistakes, and the resilience to bounce back stronger. They challenge girls to make a difference in their communities and encourage them to turn their experiences into springboards for who they want to become.
Through engaging activities, community involvement, and achievement awards, girls gain valuable life and leadership skills. Their unique framework empowers girls to lead their own units and adventures, all supported and mentored by caring adult volunteers.
The Positive Impact on Girls in Australia
Research shows Girl Guiding makes a meaningful difference:
Girls aged 8-11 show increased life skills, especially in self-regulating emotions.
Significant improvements in attitude, confidence, and interpersonal skills for girls aged 8-11.
Girls aged 8-17 enjoy greater engagement in outdoor activities, boosting their wellbeing through new experiences.
Teenage Girl Guides experience an 18%+ increase in both life skills and resilience.
12% of Girl Guides report a greater sense of purpose, and 13% demonstrate increased leadership abilities.
We are proud to contribute to these positive outcomes, helping girls grow into confident, capable leaders of tomorrow.
