The Trefoil Guild is an adult section of Girl Guides and their mission is to empower girls and young women to grow into confident, self respecting and responsible community members.
Bunbury Trefoil Guild is one of 44 across NSW and the ACT; there are guilds in all Australian states.
The Guild supports Girl Guides in Campbelltown, Ruse and Ingleburn through financial assistance towards camps and other activities, as well as equipment.
During 2017 the Bunbury members raised funds by selling Girl Guide biscuits.
They have also been collecting items to support Days For Girls, a world wide Rotary project.
Trefoil guilds also support their local hospitals and provide nursing home visits and equipment.

“Guides and leaders from all over the state travelled and camped at the Gardens,’’ Mrs Rombi said.
