Adult Leaders work directly with girls to run Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Senior Section units. Being a Leader is really rewarding because you get to see young people enjoying events and activities that you've organised and watch them grow in confidence and ability as time goes on.

If you don't want to take on the full responsibility of being a Leader you can still be involved with young people by becoming a Unit Helper or taking up one of the many other guiding roles.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

Adult Leaders take Girlguiding UK's Leadership Qualification and are offered all sorts of other training opportunities at a local and national level.

Guiding also allows you to gain useful experience that you can use at work or put on your CV. As a volunteer you might get involved in marketing, recruiting volunteers, raising funds, handling budgets and managing large-scale events. And you could develop all sorts of skills including excellent organisational and communicative skills as well as the ability to work as part of a team or on your own initiative

Guidig is flexible. you don't have to meet weekly or at the same time, or even meet at the same place. Not everyone has to wear a uniform and we always welcome new ideas about how units can be run.

All roles except that of Leader and Commissioner are open to both men and women aged 18+.
