GOLD
What is GOLD?
Guiding Overseas Linked with Development (GOLD) enables young
women to develop their potential and make a difference in the
world. It's a fantastic opportunity for guiding members to
travel overseas, improve their skills, experience an amazing
new culture and know that they're having a long-term
impact.
GOLD projects work in partnership with other Guide Associations
and have been making a difference for over 20 years. GOLD
delivers sustainable community-based development projects ranging
from environmental issues to teaching leadership skills.
Award shortlist!
The value and impact of GOLD has been recognised by Children and

for Youth Volunteering.
