What’s your role as a Guide?
As a Guide, you start and run the Curiosity Club at your school. And of course, you’ll have the support of the community along the way.
Initiate
First, there was nothing, then something—all thanks to the pioneering Guides who set the club up for the first time in their school. It’s scary to set up something new. What will people think? Will people like it? But taking that first leap is an essential skill to learn.
Guide, don’t teach
You are not a teacher, you are a Guide. You encourage curiosity about new topics, but let them find information themselves. When someone asks you a question, you can say you do not know and have them ask a fellow learner,
Stay curious
It’s okay not to know things. Learners will come up with things you might have never thought of, and that’s great! Staying curious about their projects will keep you on your toes and they will feel inspired by your curiosity.
