WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GUIDES

Guides are girls 10 - 14+. There can be up to 36 Guides in a unit (or company) and the ratio of adults to girls is one to twelve.

Like Brownies, Guides can choose what to wear from a variety of different pieces of uniform.

The programme of activities for Guides is varied and exciting. The Guide programme has recently been updated and the list of opportunities open to a girl of guide age is almost endless. Within the unit meeting, new GO FOR IT packs are proving particularly popular - groups of activities around a theme that the girls can choose to do themselves as group challenges.

Outside the unit, there are many opportunities on offer within Guiding - from camping and adventure holidays to international experiences.

Guide Promise

I promise that I will do my best

To love my God

And serve my Queen and country

And keep the Guide law

 

I like Guides because...

It's my chance to relax and meet my friends and have fun *

It's fun. Great exciting activities .Old friends to see and new ones to meet

It's wicked, cool funky and sociable

I love the things we do

At camp we have a campfire with marshmallows on sticks. We gather round the fire and sing songs. That is what your camp may be like too. BUT we do it differently by doing activities like building rope bridges, having water fights with the Guiders rock climbing abseiling, we build rafts and go on the river with them and lots lots more. After having all this fun we get very hungry. We all take it in turns to do the cooking over the campfire and then wash up our own things. When we have eaten we set up our tents and talk with our midnight snacks until the sleepy leaders get angry and then we go to sleep.

When we go camping we do lots of great activities. The only thing bad about camping is cleaning the toilets!!
