Would you like to go on fun adventures, explore and laugh with friends?
At Girlguiding they do everything from camping to campaigning! They’re all about girls and young women laughing, learning and having adventures. Why not join the fun?
Their different sections cover ages 4-18, so there’s something for everyone.
As a unit helper you will support leaders to deliver Girlguiding programme activities with the girls during their meetings. This includes supporting a safe girl-only space where girls can discover their full potential, creating and delivering an accessible and inclusive programme, and encouraging and supporting members in decision making.
