Youth Group Helper

• Girlguiding East Lothian

• VO106224

Girlguiding Scotland is the leading charity for girls and young women in Scotland, with over 35,000 young members supported by 9,000 amazing volunteers. Girlguiding helps members discover their full potential by having fun and enjoy new adventures.
At the heart of Girlguiding are our regular group sessions, called unit meetings. These are run by volunteer teams of adult leaders, helpers, and young leaders.
As a helper, there's no responsibility for planning, but you'll be the extra pair of hands needed to make unit meetings happen. You can help behind the scenes or face to face with girls. No two units are the same which means that all unit helpers do slightly different things. There is a lot of space to make this role your own.
Unit meetings are split by our 4 main sections, defined by age range. It’s up to you what section you’d rather work with, and you can attend a variety of meetings to find the right fit for you.
Rainbows are aged 4-7 and focus on fun, friendship and adventure
Brownies are aged 7-10 and focus on fun, adventure, and even first nights away!
Guides run for those aged 10-14 and is a relaxed, safe space for young members to develop their interests and take on new challenges.
Rangers are aged 14-18, and are supported to be independent, take the lead on activities, and explore UK and international adventures!

Help girls discover their full potential by having fun and enjoying new adventures.
The skills you'll need:
You will need to have the following skills in order to participate:
Enthusiastic willing to learn
