About the Organisation
With guiding, girls have fun, adventure and the space to discover their potential.
They go to their first ever sleepover, canoe on rivers, learn about body confidence, and lead their own camp. Or sometimes they simply have fun and try new things with friends.
Girls take what they do in guiding with them as they grow up. Everything from working in a team, to taking the lead, to speaking out on issues they care about. It helps them develop the skills and confidence to become the young women they want to be. And to make a difference to the world around them.
By volunteering with us, you’ll be helping girls build their confidence, have adventures and learn new skills. It doesn’t matter what your experience or background is, or how much time you have.
Help all girls know they can do anything and share some unforgettable moments along the way.
What are we looking for?
What will you get from us?
Anyone! There’s no requirement to have been involved in guiding before, and we’ve got lots of opportunities for young people too.
Get involved from the age of 13 upwards – as a young leader, for your DofE or as a peer educator. We’ve got roles to suit all ages and interests.
Plus, becoming a role model doesn't need a full-time commitment – there are all sorts of flexible ways to get involved. Parents looking to volunteer at their local unit could join a parent rota or help share a skill or passion. We also welcome students and teenagers looking for a volunteer opportunity to build their CV and develop skills for the future.
Whether you want to help behind the scenes, at special events, or get involved every week, there’s loads of ways to inspire girls with Girlguiding.
We provide our volunteers with the tools and tips to feel trained, supported and happy in your role. Discover the training to build on existing skills and knowledge and develop new competencies.
Plus, volunteering for Girlguiding is a great way of meeting new people and taking a break from your daily routine.
You can also build your own skills by taking our leader development programme, becoming a first aider or qualified outdoor activity instructor.
Whatever it is you’re looking for, there’ll be something in it for you.
