Becoming a Guide Leader is a great way to make new friends and add to your personal skills. If you're new to the area why not consider joining us?  There are great rewards to be had in working with a Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or Senior Section Unit, please email us if you would like to get involved or find out more

Guiders are volunteers aged 18 to 65 who are trained to help girls and young women to reach their potential and equip them with the necessary life skills. To become a Guider you must be willing to make the Guide promise and undertake a small amount of training. You must enjoy working with girls and young women. You need energy, enthusiasm and a sense of humour.

We hope that you will keep coming back to this Guiders page for inspiration....and would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions or ideas which we could use. 

If you are looking for games for any section, please try our County Gameszone.
