Introduction
Hi, I'm Mary Norris and I feel hugely privileged and excited on having been appointed Commissioner for Argyll. I spent many years as a Guide Guider and then as Programme and Trainer Advisor for the County and look forward to the new challenges and rewards facing me. Argyll is spread far and wide and so are our Units, although we all work as one team, encouraging our girls to fulfill their potential through a stimulating and enjoyable programme of activities.
Guiding is fun and has much to offer and age is no barrier.
About Us
We have the peaceful Isle of Iona (Columcille's Isle) in our county, this isle is steeped in history and welcomes thousands of visitors who make their way via Oban 'The Gateway to the Isles' annually. Tourism is the main economy of our County, with a few distilleries thrown in!! All ages are catered for in the many aspects of Tourism in Argyll e.g. Land and water sports, Historical Venues, Scotland's Garden Scheme and of course the beautiful scenery. There cannot be a more memorable sight and memory than an Argyll Sunset to finish of a pleasurable day!!

We are looking for...
There is a serious need for adult helpers. Girls of Rainbow, Brownie and Guide age are losing out due to the lack of adult volunteers. No qualifications required. 'You'll be surprised' at the enjoyment gained from Guiding.
Quote from a Guide parent:
"The groups within Girlguiding are much more than part time meetings. They nurture an ethos about how to lead your life, to make the world a better place."
