I'm an Adult Leader!

Meet Lucy. She's an Adult Leader with Spalding District Rangers.

What does your role involve?

My role involves helping young women realise the opportunities out there for them. I then help them to reach and grab these opportunities. I help plan, lead and facilitate activities. I try to get the ideas rolling from what the girls would like to do, while at the same time keep them realistic.

What do you love most about guiding?

Everything. It is a break from everyday life. The friends it brings, the amazing life changing opportunities you can take part in. The ability to do things that you didn't even know you were capable of.

What guiding achievement are you most proud of?

Quite a few to be honest. Being selected as an Assistant Adult Leader on a regional trip at the age of 19. Completing my Queens Guide Award and also becoming Vice Chair on the Innovate planning team. Innovate is Girlguiding UK's Forum for Young Women but what does that really mean? Simply, Innovate is 150 dynamic Senior Section members giving their thoughts on issues in guiding today and also even more fun.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about becoming a Senior Section member and taking on your role?

I would ask, what is stopping you? Go for it, you only live once and make every moment count. Enjoy, have fun and enthuse others with your fun outlook too.
