When your daughter becomes a Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or Ranger she will join a group of girls her own age and will be led by our carefully trained and dedicated volunteers. Whatever inspires your daughter, whatever her passions and interests, Girlguiding offers her the chance to develop her potential, make friends and have fun, it opens up a world of opportunities that will last a lifetime.
What do girls in guiding do?
Rainbows
Rainbows is a fun and exciting programme for girls aged five to seven, it is all about developing self-confidence, building friendships, learning new things and having fun. Girls get their hands dirty with arts and crafts, get in touch with nature and play games - it's all about learning by doing.
Brownies
Brownies is about trying new things that teach girls aged seven to 10 about themselves, their community and their world. Brownies introduces girls to a world of new opportunities, challenges and fun. Girls go along to camps, holidays, day trips and sleepovers. They get together with their friends at regular meetings where they learn new hobbies, get creative, explore other cultures and have outdoor adventures.
Guides
Guides have an exciting and varied programme designed to inspire and challenge girls from 10-14. What you do in Guides is up to you, from taking part in lots of exciting activities at regular meetings to special events and trips away. You will choose from different badges and awards which will help you learn new skills and try new challenges. You can do some of this on your own and others you’ll do in groups in your regular unit meetings.
Rangers
Girls aged 14-18 join Rangers. It's all about taking the lead and finding new challenges. Rangers is a brilliant way to try new things, have fun and give something back to your community. Whether you're already a member, or are just starting out, we'll give you a host of opportunities to gain leadership skills, build a network of friends in your area and enhance your CV.

Volunteers
Girlguiding isn't just for girls. In total, we have around 100,000 adult volunteers and supporters. Many volunteers give their time as Leaders or Assistant Leaders for guiding units and get to see girls enjoying events and activities and watch them grow in confidence and ability as time goes on. Other volunteers take on administrative responsibilities, or help out with driving or maintenance on an occasional basis.
Trefoil Guild
The Trefoil Guild is for adults to make new friends, travel, explore, serve their communities and help guiding thrive across the UK.
