Page 4 Trefoil News Winter 2016 >>> IGG at Claire Byrne Live on RTÉ From the Chief Commissioner Dear Fellow Leader, Do you like the vibrancy of the new full colour Trefoil News? I love it because that’s exactly what we are – a vibrant organisation full of life and technicolour! I was delighted to see the bright uniforms of our girls shining out from the pages in Autumn’s edition of our trusty Trefoil News. And we hope that the colour enables you to show the magazine to the parents of girls featured and make them proud of the organisation their daughter belongs to. Many thanks to all who contributed and to those involved in bringing this new version to fruition. This autumn you will have received a number of resources: • Firstly, the new Leading the Way which replaces the Welcome to Guiding publication. This has been expanded to include more information on qualifications and unit management. Míle buíochas to Jenny Gannon, Evelyn Hayes and Linda Peters for working with me on this resource. We hope it will entice you to travel along your leadership journey in IGG. • Secondly, the new look Code of Ethics and Good Practice which has been reprinted due to the changes in Garda Vetting and enclosed with Trefoil News. Many thanks to Lisa Challoner for her work in keeping this important document up to date. • You will also receive materials to enable your Unit to join in our first National Good Turn Week. I am delighted that this initiaitive is happening and even more excited that every member in the country can take part helping to showcase our Guiding ethos. • And finally, your Unit Contact Person (UCP) will receive a copy of the Surf Smart resource produced by WAGGGS and Symantec. We are grateful to Symantec Ireland for printing this useful booklet. I encourage you to read the book – I learned a lot from it for my own personal use and for my work in Guiding. And WAGGGS has produced a badge for all Units who complete the relevant activities! Check out wagggs.org for more details or to download further copies. Often we don’t realise the skills we gain for ourselves in Guiding and we don’t promote the benefits of volunteering enough. Check out IGG’s new video on YouTube which shows how Guide Skills = Life Skills and see how all your volunteering can add to your skills, CVs and employability (https://youtu.be/OKrXSt_AxvU). It’s been a busy Guiding year so far and I would like to thank all those involved in the seven Regional Conferences. To all who arranged the various strands of their life so that they could attend and become more knowledgeable; to those who planned and organised high quality training sessions; to the behind-the-scenes people who ensured the events were a success for close on 1,000 leaders; I thank you on behalf of Irish Girl Guides. It feels much too early to send Christmas greetings, so instead I will send you all wishes for continued health and happiness, and the energy to fulfil your Guiding commitments. In 2017, let’s make sure everyone knows we are a vibrant fun-loving movement of girls and women! Yours in Guiding, Helen Concannon [email protected] Trefoil News Winter 2016 Page 5 EXECUTIVE NEWS The Executive Committee of the Irish Girl Guides meets to Membership and EDI Committees discuss policy issues and to ensure the successful running of The decision was made that both the Membership Committee and the organisation for our members.

  • Nsk) Og Nsk Styregruppe Året 2016
    ÅRSRAPPORT FOR SPEJDERNES NORDISKE SAMARBEJDSKOMITE (NSK) OG NSK STYREGRUPPE ÅRET 2016 I begyndelsen af 2016 overtog Danmark formandskabet i Spejdernes Nordiske Samar- bejdskomité (NSK) fra Island. Derfor varetages formandskabet for NSK samt styregrup- pen for samarbejdet af repræsentanter for den danske spejderbevægelse. Foråret 2016 bød på stor udskiftning i både styregruppe, formandskab og blandt de øvrige medlemmer af NSK. Den ene formand for NSK’s styregruppe blev udskiftet i maj. Formandsteamet for styre- gruppen består nu af Anne Lintrup og Daniel Berthelsen. Næsten samtidigt blev begge formænd for NSK udskiftet (ifm. den europæiske spejderkonference i juni 2016). De tid- ligere formænd havde valgt at søge nye frivillige opgaver i andre sammenhænge. De to nye formænd for NSK er Monica Lyby (international kommissionær for WAGGGS) og Kri- stian Kvist (international kommissionær for WOSM). Flere af NSK’s ordinære medlemmer (dvs. de internationale kommissionærer for de re- spektive nordiske lande) er ligeledes stoppet i løbet af året, og nye repræsentanter er trådt til. Det er en naturlig udvikling, da internationale kommissærer typisk udpeges af deres medlemsorganisationen med et tidsbegrænset mandat. Den løbende udskiftning har givet grobund for en løbende dialog om det nordiske spejderarbejde og samarbejdet i komitéen. Det har været en god og lærerig proces, og der har gennem året været en god og konstruktiv dialog, hvor alle de nordiske lande har været involveret. HJEMMESIDEN – www.speidereinorden.org I løbet af 2016 er der blevet lagt kræfter i at rydde op, opdatere og omstrukturere NSK’s hjemmeside. Vi har valgt at fortsætte med den supporter i Island, der har hjulpet Island med at opbygge hjemmesiden, og har oplevet et godt og konstruktivt samarbejde mellem supporteren og styregruppen om at få alle de ønskede ændringer implementeret.

As a result of that first meeting it was decided to organise a similar meeting annually – 2015 will see the 19th meeting. The Network Meeting is an annual event organized by Europe Region WAGGGS and WOSM – European Region and inviting Guides and Scouts that represent their MO/NSOs in various platforms/organizations including their National Youth Councils. The aim of the meeting is to improve our members’ (MOs and NSOs) standing in and impact on society by supporting them in the field of External Relations. The network meetings provide the opportunity for volunteers that are working in the field of External Relations, communication, partnerships or other closely related areas from each Organisation to come together, to explore how conducting external relations can help our members to better fulfil the mission for Scouting and Guiding and to improve their position and recognition in society, in collaboration with other national partners.

  • Irish Girl Guides Annual Review 2016
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2016 1 Chief’s Address 2016 was our 105th year! And what a year it was – 12 months of enabling girls and women to develop as responsible citizens, 4 seasons of varied and purposeful activities, 52 weeks of young people reaching their goals and 366 days of IGG members living out their Guiding Promise across all 26 counties of Ireland. What a year! Back in 1911, when Lady Baden Powell called Girl Guiding a movement, I think she envisaged that the organisation would evolve and move with the times, reflecting the changes in society. We have done this time and time again over the intervening years and 2016 was no different. It was the beginning of our #IGG2020 Strategic Plan which brought together our evaluation of our previous four-year plan and a consultation with over 300 of our members, parents, supporters and donors. 2016 also provided us with an opportunity to incorporate Ireland’s 1916 commemorations into our wonderful National Guide Award ceremony in Croke Park. The symbolism of the Irish women of that time may inspire our younger members to aim high, dream big and work hard to achieve their goals. At a European level, Ireland was a case study for other organisations on the initiatives we are undertaking to provide Guiding opportunities for as many girls as possible. This involved presentations at the European Guide Conference in Oslo, Norway, and the feedback from our sister Guide organisations will help us to learn and grow as a movement. It was a great honour for me to represent IGG at this event along with Lorna Finnegan, Elizabeth Lynch and Aisling Claffey.

  • Irish Girl Guides Outreach Pack Foreword
    Irish Girl Guides Outreach Pack Foreword Dear Leader, I am delighted to introduce our new Outreach Pack, which is an exciting resource tool for you to use with the girls in your unit and which will also enable you to reach out to potential members from minority ethnic communities. The Irish Girl Guides would like our membership to be reflective of the population in our country today so that the various minority groups in each local community are reflected in the membership of the nearest IGG Units. We recognise that efforts to attract and integrate girls from different national, ethnic and religious backgrounds must be tailored to meet local needs and conditions and should be carried out in collaboration with local communities. This Outreach Pack was created to help you to welcome girls and women from minority ethnic communities into your unit. As well as being a resource pack containing educational activities on a wide variety of topics to use with the girls in your unit, it also provides useful information and advice on how to make your unit more inclusive. The pack challenges you and the other leaders in your unit to reflect on your perceptions and practices in relation to working with girls and young women around identity and minority issues. It informs you about other cultures, gives advice on cross-cultural communication, and raises awareness of issues that may arise. Using this pack will ensure that you are better equipped to be more inclusive and responsive to the needs of the community in which you are now living and working.
