"Link has helped me stay in touch with Guiding in a way that is entirely flexible – I can volunteer as much as works for my schedule as I finish my degree. Link gave me the opportunity to represent Girl Guides on an international stage and has shown me how to be involved in Guiding in new ways, while still giving me a way to do the classic things I loved about Guiding growing up – like camping and meeting new friends."
