It is essential to differentiate the difference between a LEADER and a MANAGER!
Leader:
- coping with / planning change (especially if it is very sudden)
- determine whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall
Manager:
- coping with complexity
- brings order and consistency out of potential chaos
- applies known solition and strategies
- efficiency in climbing ladder of success
RESPECT is to be earn, not demanded
Leaders LEAD and SERVE is for the benefit of the patrol, not themselves.
Power-Abusers:
- over-value themselves and under-value others
- often don't take time to deal with the root cause of problems
- often are blind to counsel because of their "positional ego"
REMEMBER!
"with greater power comes greater responsibility"
"it's NOT about YOU!"

Why do we need a proposal?
1) cover all safety aspects of the activity
2) plan for emergencies that might occur (e.g. wet weather)
3) stay focused during the activity and not deviate from the learning objectives
4) show how well activity planned and how much effort is put in (help getting activity approved)

What is guiding?
Guiding is an adventure, fun and character-building and SISTERHOOD. It is a game of adventure, observation, general knowledge and ideas.
Patrol system:
Your company operates the patrol system through the patrol-in-council and court of honour (COH). COH is a session whereby leaders of different aspects come together to evaluate about a particular activity/event.
What is a patrol?
It consists of a small intimate group of girls who take initiative in planning activities and carrying them out.
What is a guides company?
- consists of a group of girls (6-8 patrols)
- runs along democratic line (every girl is an important member)
- members respect each other and listen attentively even when opinions differ
