The short answer is yes, Girl Guides is a program primarily for girls.
However, there are some exceptions:
- Rainbow Guides: This is the youngest age group in Girl Guides, and they welcome both boys and girls.
- Explorers: This older age group, for young adults, allows both boys and girls to participate.
- International Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting: In some countries, the organizations that are equivalent to Girl Guides may allow boys to participate.
While the core program of Girl Guides is designed for girls, there are some avenues for boys to participate in aspects of the program.
