What makes guiding special?

Girl space with no boys around

What makes guiding special?We all need some space without boys around sometimes! With Girlguiding UK girls can just be themselves - making friends, learning new skills and having fun.

'Guiding lets girls think, learn and develop without having to put up with boys trying to be the centre of attention all the time!'
Phillipa, 16

All girls are welcome

Guiding is for girls of all backgrounds, abilities and nationalities.

'I joined Guides when I moved to the UK from my home country of Indonesia. Everyone was very welcoming. It's a great way of making friends.'
Elsa, 14

Girl talk


Girls like to talk, and in guiding we encourage them to tell other people about the things that matter to them.

'Guiding has helped me become the person I am today, which is a confident and outspoken girl!'
Dawn, 17

It's girl-centric

Girls lead the way in guiding, so the activities are what they want to do.

'Guiding is fantastic, hilarious, crazy and fab!' 
Teresa, 14
