Are you a girl in the lead?

• Are you a girl in the lead or would you like to be one?
• Do you have strong views on the way in which girls and young women should be able to participate at all levels of guiding?
• Are you an adult member with thoughts and views about girls leading Girlguiding UK?

We are looking for Senior Section girls and adult members to join a series of focus groups across the UK.

Join us for an interactive half-day workshop to let us know your views on what being a girl in the lead means to you and what we should be focusing on at the start of the second century of our organisation.

Discuss and debate

• How do you want to participate in guiding?
  
• What opportunities do you want to see made available to you?
• How do you want to find out about events and opportunities on offer?
• What skills do you need to be a girl in the lead?
• What skills do you need as an adult member to help ensure that girls are in the lead?

Girls and young women can join in at a workshop even if unaccompanied by a Leader so it makes a great half-term activity.
