You could be: camping in a tent; helping a Rainbow master a new craft; kayaking; being part of a community project; supporting girls to achieve an interest badge; at a concert at Wembley Arena with thousands of other Girlguiding members; swimming; trying street-dance with the Brownies; learning about the work of a local charity; fundraising; improvising around a campfire; supporting a group of Guides to complete a challenge they have chosen; dressing up as a dolphin; foraging with members of The Senior Section. This is just a snapshot of what a programme might include - every session is different and the members of every unit are involved with choosing programme options. That is part of what makes Girlguiding unique and so popular amongst girls and young women.
There are also a plethora of opportunities outside of the unit setting. All units need administrative support with communications / accounts and more. We are always looking for people who have time or skills, who could support certain aspects of the running of a unit.
It's the summer holidays at the moment. Hopefully you'll be having some time-out and relaxing. Whilst doing this, why not consider taking up a new hobby? Consider volunteering with Girlguiding. Embrace the amazing opportunities which are waiting for you. Help create more life-changing opportunities for more girls. Change their lives and change yours.
