General Introduction
The Catholic Guides of Ireland is a voluntary organisation which promotes and fosters
the spiritual, moral, cultural, intellectual, social and physical development of its
members in accordance with Guide Ideals, so that they become mature persons prepared for
leadership and service in the home and community.
Programmes
The programme caters for the following age groups:
Brigin Guides (6-11 years), Guides (10-17 years), Rangers (15-19 years). There are

develop their abilities in a responsible manner. Activities include Camping, Hiking,
Drama, Orienteering, Nature Study, Cooking, Arts and Crafts, Project Work, Movement to
Music and First Aid.
