Guiding in Bedfordshire is about providing opportunities for girls and young women to:

• Be challenged by new adventures and experiences and take pride in their achievements.
• Develop self-awareness, self-respect and self-confidence
• Develop a personal faith and values to give life meaning and direction
• Think for themselves, govern themselves and make their own decisions
• Make friends and have fun
• Develop a sense of tolerance, justice, kindness and honour
• Learn about teamwork and gain leadership skills
• Appreciate the environment
• Understand about the world, its people and cultures

We provide these opportunities in ways that ensure that our members can achieve their own personal best whether they are 5 or 65.

With more than 6,000 members, we are the largest voluntary organisation for girls and women in Bedfordshire. We have over ninety years' experience in helping our members grow and develop; and the benefits we bring can be felt across the county - from our work to improve the environment to supporting the needs of our local community.
