There are many different ways of helping out to suit people of different interests and lifestyles.

Unit Leader: Unit Leaders are women between the ages of 18 & 65 they can choose to lead:

• Rainbows aged 5 - 7
• Brownies aged 7 - 10
• Guides aged 10 - 14

Or they can support Senior Section units for young women aged 14-26.

Unit Leaders are given training both “on the job” and through training sessions. Initially they gain the Girlguiding UK leadership qualification and there are further training opportunities available once qualified. Leaders are supported by a mentor while training and there is a local support network.

 

Unit Helper: Unit Helpers are vital to guiding. Girlguiding UK has recommended ratios of adults to children, dependent on the age group, so it is vital that units have committed helpers. For example, one additional Unit Helper for a Brownie unit can mean that up to eight more girls can join.

If you can help on a regular basis, once a week or fortnight you could become a unit helper  assisting the Unit Leader.

 

Parent / Occasional helper: Many units have a rota, where a group of parents take it in turn to help at the unit meeting just once or twice a term. This is a great way to get stuck into a wide range of games and activities enjoyed by the girls.

 

Young Leader: Young Leaders help younger girls enjoy the challenges of guiding. Young Leaders are members of our Senior Section and are supported by a local Young Leader Leader.

As a volunteer you will get a great sense of satisfaction from watching the girls and young women in your unit develop their confidence and skills, as well as having lots of fun.

 

In addition  you will also gain from the experience by making new friends and learning new skills such as leadership and organisational abilities that you can use at work or put on your CV.
