About Girlguiding
Girls can do anything.
We help every girl discover this for herself, whether she’s 4 or 18 or in between. All girls have a home at Girlguiding – whoever they are, and wherever they are. This is a place where she can be herself, get creative, explore, and most of all have fun. Where she’ll make special friends and do things she never thought she could.
Girlguiding is what each girl wants it to be. She can choose her own path through our activities and events. It might be giggles in sleeping bags. Songs around a campfire. The buzz of getting a new badge. The sound of thousands of excited girls at their very own music festival. The thrill of doing something for the first time. Coming home exhausted and full of stories and having made new friends.
We help girls think big and be bold. We catch them if they stumble and encourage them to try again. We show them a world of possibilities big and small.
We’re for girls, with girls, led by girls.
We’re Girlguiding.
