Help us re-design some Guide wear!

We need your help! Following involvement from Guides around the UK in the re-design of the Guide T-shirt last year, we’d like you to help us with the review of another piece of section wear! We’re looking at the clothing that goes over your polo shirt or T-shirt – such as the gilet, sweatshirt, hooded top etc. We would like your views on the following:

  • Is there a style of top you think we should introduce to the range that will keep you warm and would be ideal for displaying your Interest badges?
  • What changes could we make to the current tops such as the gilet, hooded top or sweatshirt to make them more up to date?

Please email your ideas to membershipsupportservices@girlguiding.org.uk

Are you a girl in the lead?

We're looking for some Guides to come and have a chat with us at some of our workshops about what they want to see from guiding in the next 100 years. Find out more about our workshops.
