Being a Girl Guide is about enjoying yourself in a group, learning new skills, making new friends and having a good time. Each Girl Guide sets her own agenda - whether she wants to concentrate on indoor activities, badges or even expeditions, it's up to her...
Girl Guides find their own level in the girl guiding association and do the best for themselves, and always have fun doing it.

I like Guides as it a chance for you to make new friends and catch up with old friends. Guide meetings are really enjoyable as you get to try out new stuff.
I especially like going on camps and having the campfires.

The Big Gig in Birmingham

Activities at guides are entertaining and exciting so far from last year we went to the Big Gig, camp, Gang Show London and many more. At guides we have many activities we have the opportunity for sometimes using the computers. On chill out nights we are able to do what we like for example playing games, listening to music, going on the computers, chatting to our friends and watching films.

The Baden Powell Challenge Badge is the final badge you can work towards. This badge includes planning and working on activities sometimes for the whole unit.  I am working on my badge these are some of the things I have done, organised a rainbow party, working on this website, try out a new activity mine is rock climbing, I also have to help raise some money to go on the Baden Powell adventure weekend to finalise my badge.
 

Girls complete two Go For It! badges with their patrol and help decide what they do. Working in a patrol and making decisions will develop many life skills.

Guides gain the following from their involvement with their Patrol:

listening skills

increased confidence

leadership skills

cooperation

giving and receiving support

tolerance

trying new things

making decisions

communication skills

how to express opinions

how to be a team member

taking on responsibility
 

In guides when you are about 12 maybe 13 years old you will be able to start your Baden Powell badge. It is up to you if you want to do it, but it is good if you do.
