Girl Guides Canada staggers their registration times. If you're returning to the same unit you get the first window. If you're a current member and switching units (say once you finish Guides and move up to Pathfinders) you're in the second window. Then there's options for girls who were involved in the "try now, join later" thing they do where you can join a unit at the end of the year without having to pay, and you get earlier registration options than someone who's completely new.

Obviously this is a good thing to make sure that you don't have to scramble to stay in a given unit, and don't have to scramble to stay in Guiding. (Hmmm... this makes the girls who would have been uncomfortable with the name "Brownies" all the more of a problem, because if you leave for those two years then you lose your priority registration). But I noticed something interesting. While Phases 1, 3 and 4 all had a single date for when registration opened, Phase 2 (moving to a different unit) has a different date for different provinces. That's something you do because you're worried about crashing the website, not just to make sure those girls have a chance before the free-for-all registration period.

Yeah, 10 minutes ago when the registration opened I had to refresh the page once. And while I got my kid into the unit she specifically wanted, between when I selected the unit for her and when I finished registering her, it went from 5 available spaces to a waitlist. (5 or fewer people but still). I think I see why they staggered it...

(Realistically that's the only group that would need it. There's no rush if you're returning to the same unit - as long as you register before it's open to anyone else, you know the spot is there. If you were doing "try no, join later" then you're probably going to want the unit you were attending, and if they had spaces free for you to do the try now programme, it isn't likely to be a big problem. (Unlike a unit which is known to be the best in the area, so people will scramble to switch to it in Phase 2 registration - which I've done). And new members... again very few people would be scrabbling to get their daughter* into a very specific unit.

I hope the friends who really wanted to be in the same unit as her made it, because it's too late now!

*I'm aware that Guiding accepts non-binary members, but given that they do so under the understanding that they aren't an inclusive organization, they're focused on girls and women and members need to be ok with that, I'm sticking with the gendering.

#can we acknowlege how hard it is to write out just Girl Guides Canada and stop there?#I have recently discovered that I not only don't type letter by letter #I don't even type word by word #so skipping the Guides du Canada part #literally affected my ability to type it out

every time I leave my usual fanfiction stomping grounds to enter the big wide world of "things with over 10k works" I become the human equivalent of charlie the horse who died from overfeeding after being buried underground for a month in the frank rockslide

#shocked to discover charlie the horse was real I thought my childhood dear canada book about the frank landslide made him up

I really like giving the nations weird quirks/reactions/powers/physical traits, like how Finland’s back gets itchy when Estonia talks about him in canon. I think its a fun idea, so I wrote this out for a fic awhile ago:

“Anytime a new type of dinosaur was discovered in America his brother’s hair would get so frizzy he looked like a dandelion. Canada was lucky enough to witness the discovery of the T. rex in person, not from the actual site, but from a meeting room in Washington D.C.. The static electricity was strong enough that every the diplomat in the room felt the effects themselves. They looked like a whole field of dandelions at all stages of life. They had agreed to postpone that meeting until a time when America was not a walking, talking tesla coil”

#there's a lot of problems with this in practice #is it when the fossil is unearthed that they're discovered or when they're classified or named?#and there are still debates about what dinosaurs are NEW dinosaurs #which ones are misclassified which ones have been discovered in other countries already etc #taxonomy is a whole can of worms #but supposing the universe could grant you perfect knowledge of what is and isnt a new dinosaur #I think this would be pretty funny #why do dinosaurs lead to electricity? nation biology is a mystery #do they even count as biology? the world may never know #hws canada #hws america

The Bucks really saw a few pictures of a "young, fit guy with curly blond hair" and said that's our man, we're going to spend the rest of our lives with that man. I admire that, truly I do.

#and 'his name was kenny omega and he came from canada' I'm choking back my tears #i admire this because thats pretty much how i discovered all of them #i claimed them almost instantly #nick jackson #matt jackson #kenny omega #the elite #soph is reading #young bucks: killing the business

my new favourite youtube channel is the world's most average american man just reacting to canadian things.

#his videos are so relaxing to me. hes just a regular guy who likes to learn about canada for some reason #he's very talkative and his content is so easy to digest. its nice after a long day to open my youtube app and watch this silly man #eat ketchup chips for the first time or discover how funny rick mercer is #some might say this sounds incredibly boring but this is my roman empire #maybe i dont know what that means by the way #my text
