Link are women aged 18 to 30 in Girl Guides of Canada who are
encouraged
to support Guiding however they can, and are made aware of
opportunities
for
further involvement in Guiding. (statement adopted by the
Provincial
Link Advisers in October 2001)
The official definition of Link is as follows (revision to
POR
effective December 2001):
Women between the ages of 18 and 30 may register as Link
Members,
but may also hold positions in Guiding. Link Members are
encouraged
to support Guiding however they can, and may participate in activities
with other Link members, Units, Districts, Divisions, Areas, and
Provinces.
For women who have not been enrolled as Adult Members, the Commissioner
concerned is responsible for ensuring they meet the requirements for
adult
enrolment, become enrolled, and are registered. They may register
as individuals or groups with a District, Division, Area or Provincial
Office.
Link Members wear the Link Pin. Time spent in Link is counted
towards Long Service Awards. Consult local Commissioners, Link
Advisers,
or Provincial Offices for more information.
See what Guides Canada has to say about
Link on their official homepage.

roughly,
the same ideas apply to Link)
