When you begin as a volunteer, your Service Unit Manager or Membership and Community Development Specialist will host a welcome session to give you information specific to your geographical area.

Girlguiding Headquarters London Country United Kingdom Founded 1910 Founder; Membership 553,633 (at 31 December 2013) Chief Guide Valerie Le Vaillant (28 May 2016–9 March 2017) Chief Executive President Patron Affiliation Website Girlguiding is the operating name of The Guide Association, previously named The Girl Guides Association and is the national of the. It is the UK's largest girl-only youth organisation. Girlguiding is a charitable organisation.

Within Girlguiding, participants take on adventurous activities, such as climbing, canoeing, sailing and orienteering and have the opportunity to get involved in camps and international events, including girl-only festivals and overseas development projects. In local groups – called 'units' - girls complete badges and challenges that cover topics from circus skills, stargazing and scientific investigation, to first aid, camping and community action. Each year, the organisation publishes the Girls' Attitudes Survey, which surveys the views of girls and young women on topics such as body image, career aspirations and mental health. Girlguiding is also a campaigning organisation, having supported the No More Page 3 campaign and lobbied the government on sexual harassment in schools, women's political representation and media sexism. Guiding began in the UK in 1910, when, founder of, established a separate organisation for girls.

The Guide Association was a founding member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in 1928. Girlguiding is supported by around 100,000 volunteers. Girl Guides in camp, 1930 Following the origin of the in 1907 many girls took up Scouting. In 1909, a number of girls appeared at a in Crystal Palace Park, dressed as Girl Scouts and declaring themselves to be 'Girl Scouts' The girls told Robert Baden Powell that they wanted 'to do the same thing as the boys'. Guiding was introduced to respond to the demand. In 1910 formed the Girl Guides and asked his sister to look after the Girl Guides organisation. A few years later Baden-Powell's new wife became involved and, in 1918, was appointed Chief Guide.

The name Guides was chosen from Baden-Powell's military background, 'Guides' had operated in the north-west frontier in India, their main task was to go on hazardous expeditions. These men had particularly influenced Baden-Powell as they continued training minds and body even when off duty. As a result, Baden Powell decided Girl Guides would be a suitable name for the pioneering young women's movement he wished to establish. In 1914 Rosebuds were established for girls aged 8–10, this name was later changed to Brownies.

Two years later in 1916 the first Senior Guide groups were formed, in 1920 these groups became Rangers. 1943 saw the establishment of the Trefoil Guild for members over 21 (now 18) who wished to remain a part of the movement but couldn't remain active with a unit. The section for the youngest members of the association, Rainbows, was introduced in 1987 for girls aged 5–7 (4-7 in Ulster). In 1936 the then Girl Guides Association was one of the founding members of, which was created with the aim of promoting and supporting youth development work across England. Girlguiding has remained a member of NCVYS ever since.

In 1964, a 'Working Party' was established to review and update the whole programme of the association; their 195-page report was published in 1966 under the title. These recommendations were implemented in 1968 and included new uniforms, badges and awards across all the sections of the association. Land, Sea and Air Rangers were merged into a single Ranger section. Programme Girls are organised into sections by age. These are Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and The Senior Section. Rainbow Guides or Rainbows are aged from 5 to 7 year old, except in Northern Ireland where girls can join from age 4. Activities are organised around work the four areas of the Rainbow Jigsaw – Look, Learn, Laugh and Love.

In the UK the girls used to wear a tabard in one of the colours of the Rainbow, now the newer uniform is worn. There is a baseball cap, cycle shorts, hoodie, jogging bottoms, and polo shirt to choose from. Each girl makes a promise on joining a Rainbow unit and must be able to understand and want to make this promise. This Promise is a simpler version of the one all members make. The Rainbow Jigsaw is used in the unit via the Rainbow Roundabout.

The Rainbows themselves choose an activity from one of each of the four Jigsaw areas. These activities are then carried out alongside the normal activities. When all four have been completed the Rainbow is awarded a badge showing the symbols of each of the Jigsaw areas. It is intended that each Rainbow completes 2 Roundabouts in their life as a Rainbow.

Roundabouts have a theme, ones produced so far are Roundabout Festivals, Roundabout the World, Roundabout Rainbows, Roundabout Get Healthy and Roundabout Global Adventure. Rainbows can also receive other badges for activities that they attend (possibly with other units), and other activities they complete within their unit, maybe after a themed half term.

During 2008, a special challenge book Olivia's Favourites was produced to commemorate the 21st Birthday of the section and a badge was produced. At the end of the Rainbow programme, as the girls get ready to move on to the Brownie section, girls undertake the personal Pot of Gold Challenge. Brownie Guides or Brownies are from 7 to 10 years old.

Brownies work from the Brownie Adventure which is divided into three areas: You, Community and World. Brownies can also work towards activity badges covering a variety of subjects. Brownies units are called Packs. Packs are divided into Sixes, small groups of girls who work together.

Sixes are traditionally named after e.g. Gnomes, Leprechauns; however many Packs have adopted the new naming style, woodland animals. Each six has a leader called a 'Sixer' and a 'Second'. The adult leader in charge is usually called Brown Owl. Other leaders are often named after different owls. These two elements are taken from the Brownie Story, in which two children visit the Brown Owl in the wood to learn how they can help doing the housework. It is becoming more common for Leaders to be named after different animals.

Brownies have mix and match clothing based around the colours of yellow and brown. Items include baseball caps, gilets, cycle shorts, hoodies, leggings, long sleeved tops, short sleeved tops, skorts, trousers and a sash. Brownie packs may also wear neckers.

Guides Guides are from 10 to 14 years old. Guides work from the 5 Zones: Healthy Lifestyles, Global Awareness, Skills and Relationships, Celebrating diversity and Discovery. Guides can choose to work on Challenge Badges, Go For Its, Interest badges and the Baden-Powell Challenge which is the highest award that a Guide can gain.

They take part in indoor and outdoor activities that challenge them to do their best. Guides choose and plan most of their own activities, which can include themed evenings and trips. Guide units meet regularly, usually once a week during school terms.

There are often other opportunities for Guides to take part in special activities and events throughout the year. Many Guide units go away on holiday, to camp or on overnight sleepovers. Guides work in small groups between 4 and 8 called a patrol. Patrol names vary between different units but include flowers, like rose and poppy, animals, like panda and parrot and famous landmarks, like pyramids. Each patrol is run by a patrol leader who is assisted by her patrol seconder.

The Patrol Leader can be elected by her patrol, elected by the whole unit or chosen by the leadership team. The Patrol Leader is given extra assistance from the leader team to develop her Leadership skills. Senior Section For girls between 14 and 26 years old, there are a variety of schemes and groups to choose from. Young Leaders work with Rainbows, Brownies or Guides. They can work towards the Young Leadership Qualification or the Adult Leadership scheme as well as other Senior Section opportunities.

There are no compulsory trousers, but girls in guiding wear what is appropriate for the activities. Optional caps, gilets and other accessories can be bought from Girlguiding uniform stockists as well as online.

The gilet is often used to display badges and is a popular uniform choice. Promise All members of Girlguiding make a upon joining. The current promises for each section are: Rainbows. I promise that I will do my best; To be true to myself and develop my beliefs, To serve the Queen and my community, To help other people and To keep the (Brownie) Guide Law. History of the Promise In 1994, the promise was changed from 'To do my duty to God' to 'To love my God', in order to accommodate different faiths, and the word 'God' was allowed to be replaced with a faith's own word for their god (e.g.

Some do not feel they are able to make a promise that mentions god, particularly atheists and this has attracted criticism from the. In 2013 a nationwide consultation of the promise was carried out by Girlguiding. This took the form of a questionnaire with 44,000 respondents being asked for opinions on each line of the promise (not just 'Love my God'), and gave a number of options of different wordings. Effective from 1 September 2013, the words 'to be true to myself and develop my beliefs' replaced 'to love my God', and the words 'to serve the Queen and my community' replaced 'to serve the Queen and my country'.

The rewording has been criticised by some Christian organisations. Brownie Guide Law A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself, and does a good turn every day.
