Register your child
Fill in the form and we’ll put you in touch with your local Girlguiding group
Whether she's 4 or 18 or in between, all girls have a home at Girlguiding.
Girls can do anything and we help every girl discover this for herself. Whether your child would like to join Rainbows (4-7), Brownies (7-10), Guides (10-14) or Rangers (14-18), start their Girlguiding journey here.
Girls in guiding are up to 23% more confident than the UK on average, and 3 times more likely to have done something good for their local community or environment.
To join over 300,000 girls across the UK, begin by registering your interest and finding out about units (local Girlguiding groups) in your area.
How does registration work?
- Register your interest. We'll ask for your contact details and a few key pieces of information about your child.
- Choose the best Girlguiding group for you. We'll use your details to suggest several local Girlguiding groups - or 'units' - near you. Then it's up to you to choose the most convenient one. You can select up to 3 choices.
- We'll get in touch. Someone from your chosen unit (local Girlguiding group) will contact you. They'll aim to get back to you within 3 weeks. They will explain to you about meetings times, costs, what's planned for the term and if there's a waiting list.
- Try guiding out. If spaces are available, the unit will arrange a trial meeting for your child to attend. This gives you both an idea of what guiding is all about – we're sure you'll love it!
Why join Girlguiding?
- We're an affordable activity club for girls.
- We’ve got an action-packed programme that is girl-led with something for every girl.
- We offer a safe, girl-only space in which your child can build confidence, try things for the first time and realise their full potential.
- Girls can take part in all levels of adventure from high adrenaline to gentler experiences. It could be a bug hunt in the garden or the chance to go abseiling.
Questions you might have
At Girlguiding, we want everyone to feel welcome and have an equal sense of belonging.
We want to see an equal world where all girls feel happy, safe and can enjoy fulfilling lives. So, we encourage them to think big and be bold – each in her own way. We help her know she can do anything.
We value and celebrate the different experiences of our members. We’re proud to welcome people from all backgrounds including disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, people of colour and those of all religions or philosophical beliefs and none.
You can read more about our diversity and inclusion strategy and what we have achieved so far, as well as what it means to us to be including all.
Girlguiding will not disclose information you provide to volunteers, members or parents, unless your consent is given to do so.
The cost of our membership fees (‘subs’) will vary from area to area. This is dependent on everything from the unit’s activities to the cost of hiring a meeting place. Register your details, find your local unit and speak to your local volunteer team about costs in your area.
Our online shop has everything and more for your uniform needs. Each of our age groups has its own uniform, but uniform should never be a barrier to girls joining guiding. Check out our policy on inclusive uniform.
Thank you for your patience. Local Girlguiding groups are run by volunteers who are very busy so sometimes things can take a little longer. Someone will aim to be in touch with you in 3-4 weeks. If it's been longer than that, you can contact [email protected] to check the status of your registration.
If your child is already a part of Girlguiding and you have a question, read more information and support for parents and carers.
