North Beds
Division
North Bedfordshire is a very rural Division covering a huge area
from Turvey, Clapham, Wilden and Renhold in the south to the northern
county boundary including Wymington, Upper Dean and Pertenhall.
Many groups meet in village halls. Due to our rural location, often,
facilities in our area are limited or nonexistent. This can be challenging
when trying to engage with others and build a sense of community.
Guiding takes on this challenge offering girls, young women and
adults a great way to build up a social network, stay in touch and
experience lots of opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach.
It can help to form friendships and be a way of getting to know
the area and the people who live in it.
Throughout the year we team up with other guiding units in urban
areas to experience the opportunities available in the different
locations and to socialise.
We are thriving and although we do have waiting lists at some units
we will try our best to accommodate new girls in all sections. We
will also have a very warm welcome to new Guiders who wish to take
on a role; we can offer training, opportunities to try new things,
a chance to make new friends and to make a difference.
As you would expect, living in beautiful countryside, we have a
tendency to be outside when ever we can. We have pack holidays,
camps, and days away and visits often. The Rainbows might go out
to collect things from nature to make a collage, Brownies might
have a trail to follow, and Guides and Senior Section might go on
a night-hike to watch badgers. All units have a keen interest in
conservation, recycling and encourage girls to be self-reliant and
self assured, enabling them to reach their potential in a safe environment
and a girl only space, above all to be happy and have FUN!.
The locations of guiding meetings are below. If you would like more
information, please contact us at our email
