Canva offers plenty of virtual templates for you to work with a design and add in your own changes. We have created Girl Guides Templates so you can create Girl Guides designs as if you were a part of the Marketing & Communications Team at Guide House! Once completed, you can download the file, share it via lots of social media optimized options, or send it to a professional print service to have it printed.
Canva can be used on a desktop PC or Mac in an internet browser or downloadable application, works great on laptops, chromebooks and MacBooks as well as tablets, iPads, and smartphones.
Your designs are also accessible from any device you log into with your account.
