Just last week someone defaced the Girl Guides Hall with graffiti. Despite the terrible vandalism and disregard for others, Ms Waser remained positive.

"There will always be that one, two, three or five per cent of people who do the wrong thing and ruin it for others but if we focus on that then we're focusing on the negative," she said.

"This is bringing to our attention an opportunity to discuss things (with the girls).... These (vandals) are people who haven't learnt our values.

"In our Guide law we strive to respect ourselves and others... do vandals respect anybody? No. They're not making choices for a better world, they're not being thoughtful or optimistic and we want to be thoughtful and optimistic."

There are many positive things happening within the group including receiving a $5000 grant from Bodangra Wind Farm which will allow them to install a wheelchair accessible ramp at the Hall.

And over the past two years they have been tirelessly fundraising and have received generous donations from various community groups, including $2000 from Wellington Rotary. Half of that money is going towards the Girl Guides floor sanding project, Ms Waser said, which is commencing in the school holidays.

"The next thing we'll do after we've got the Hall looking more attractive is to have a membership drive," she said.

"The adult leaders want to be here to do positive things with the women of tomorrow so that they work in a girl-friendly, positive space where they can spread their wings, become leaders and learn all kinds of interesting things."

Ms Waser said Girl Guides is more than just learning how to make a campfire, with participants given the skills to run activities, develop leadership skills and friendship networks.

The leader said they are fortunate to have a small, yet dedicated, parent support group.

"The sad thing about the graffiti is that Girl Guides have insurance for the building but it's at $1000 excess, so it's going to be a matter of the support group sanding the walls and painting it, because we can't afford that," she said.

Ms Waser said it's incomprehensible why someone would write horrible things.

"How do you empower girls when you get negative messages written like that on the side of the walls?"

Ms Waser is passionate about making the world a better place in any way she can.

"If I can have a girl come to me and say 'that was really good what we learnt least week, I took that outside of Guides and I had a conversation with somebody and that made me feel good' it's about thinking global, acting local," she said.
