The history of Guiding in Whitby goes back to 1919 Mhen Capt. Jenny Wright established the town's first Guide comipany at AIl Saints' Chttrch. The first Brownie pack was establishied in 1932, and the first Ranger group in 1966. Today there are more than 750 Whitby girls involved in Guiding, consisting of 300 Brownies, aged seven to 10; ".'425 Guides, aged 10 to 15; 30 Rangers, aged 14 to 18; and six Cadets training for leaders, aged 16 to 2 1. Unlike the Scouts which have one district for ail of Whitby, the Guides have three districts: Whitby, covering the western portion of the town north of Dundas Street; Whitby South East, south of Dundas Street and in the Anderson Street area; and Brooklin District, covering Brooklîn and the rural part of the town. Comimunity services is a major part of the Guide movemnent. and the district commissioners are anxious to have the guides perform any worthwhile service that is required in the town. Starting in 1975, the South East Resolute Rangers began selling dog tags for the Town of Whitby. Twenty-ftve girls canvassed the town each spring, providing a service which is designed to improve the town's dog licencing system. For several years about 25 Guides aged 10 and over have gone to the Canadian National Exhibition to pust name tags on small children entering the exhibition grounds. This is a service performed by Guides from ahl ove r the province of Ontario. I The South East Resolute Rangers will be attending the Olympiad for the Physically Disabled at Etobicoke Aug. 3 to 11, acting as vôlunteers in organizing this event. Close r to home, about 15S girls a year act as assistants to nurses at the Whitby Psychiatrie Hospital in an eighit to l0-week programn carried out after sehool and on weekends. Guides aged 12 and over have been taking part in this activity since 1974 in connection with their badge prograrn. Last year about 100 Guides aged Il and over took a three-week i re safety course t'romn the Whitby Fire Department, which also qualifiedthem ftor badges. First aid badges are eamed by attendingcoursesoperated by the St. Johin Ambulance brigade. Forty girls aged 1I2 and over attended- these courses in 1975. Guiîdes of aIl aâes do pos- ter work for organizations having '-ake sales, card parties or bazaars, andi they also serve food at banquets on reqniest. Various Guide units provide entertaininent at Fairview Lodge and the senior citizens' apartmients. and serve coffee, tea and cookies. One unit of Guides makes tray favors and decorations for Meals on Wlieels at Christmas and Fister. The Whiitby District puts up decorationsý at Christinas at the psychiatric hospital. and organizes parties tor the patients. Besides the %vide variety of collniiity activit ies. the Guides take.part îin the usual camiping and traininigprogrumis that are part of the organiza- tion.
