Guiding went online in March 2020, and many Units continued to meet online into 2022. During this time I compiled this huge list of online resources that could be used for virtual meetings. While I hope to never have to go back to online meetings, I've decided to leave this list up for Units who may be meeting online or looking for online activities.
To make things easier to find, I've sorted all of the resources into the Program Areas. The General Resources category is for stuff that didn't fit into one Program Area. Any personal resources made by Guiders have been posted with their permission.
