The Volunteer Movement under the Social Welfare Department will be officially retired in 2021, and the award of voluntary work certificates (gold/silver/bronze) will also cease to be issued. In order to continue to encourage our adult members and recognize their active participation in the voluntary work of Girl Guides, a certificate of service will be issued under the Hong Kong Girl Guides Association from 2021.

Adult volunteers who fulfil required volunteer service hours (such as attending any Girl Girls meetings, or activities) from September 1 to August 31 each guiding year are eligible to receive the certificate.

Award Criteria of Volunteer Service Certificate
Based on the annual accumulated no. of service hour delivered from 1st of September to 31 August of each guiding year.
1. Those who have served for 30 hours or more can be awarded a Certificate of Merit
2. Those who have served for 50 hours or more can be awarded a Bronze Award Certificate
3. Those who have served for 100 hours or more can be awarded a Silver Award Certificate
4. Those who have served 200 hours or more can be awarded a Gold Award Certificate

Service Hours Recording Method
