TORONTO - Transgender children wanting to take part in girl guide programs across the country are officially welcome to join in.

Girl Guides of Canada says it's developed a set of guidelines designed to respect and accommodate all children identifying as female.

Chief Commissioner Pamela Rice says the document will help leaders respect the wishes of anyone identifying as transgender and answer questions from those who don't.

The policies cover a variety of topics from washroom use to privacy during camping trips, and apply across the entire 5 to 18 age range the organization serves.

Canada catching up to the Girl Scouts and going one better by developing policies and procedures. Nice to see.
