Celebrating 1 year of the adventure map

In February 2024 we launched our adventure map. We wanted to help you easily locate where you can do outdoor adventures with Girlguiding.

The map profiles activity centres, including Girlguiding country and region sites, PGL and independent centres, residential and camping spots and places where you can do water-related activities.

Finding adventure sites near you

You told us you wanted to find local adventure venues near you, where you could take your girls easily and accessibly, so we created the map to help.

Now a year later we’re thrilled to see how many of you have been using it! Since its launch it has received nearly 22,000 views, with a total of 11,590 members using it to find adventure.

Where and what

We’ve profiled a wide breadth of sites from camping locations to activity centres. There are currently 464 venues on the map, with 35% being Girlguiding owned properties.

If it’s a centre you’re after you could go to Blackland Farm, Hautbois or organise your own takeover weekend at your local PGL site.

For camping sites why not try Benone, or Carmichael Guide Centre campsite. Looking for a residential up north? What about South Shields Guide HQ or Alasger Guide Hall?

Across the UK

You can find sites right across all of the 9 countries and regions from the South West to Ulster. 

We know that the proportion across the UK is varied at the moment. We want to add more sites to fully represent what's available in each country and region. So we're always on the lookout for more sites to share.

If you’ve got a favourite local place to go for a residential that you can’t find on the map, please let us know via the webform and we’ll start the process of getting it added as soon as we can.
