" Guiding has equipped me with the skills to develop both personally and professionally "

On behalf of Girlguiding London and South East England (LaSER) it is my pleasure to welcome you all to our website, in this Girlguiding’s Centenary year! It is hard to believe that 100 years ago, a small group of girls gate crashing a Boy Scout Rally at Crystal Palace & asking Robert Baden Powell for ‘Something for the girls’, would lead to a worldwide organisation with over 10 million members in 145 countries.

THE centenary anniversary of the girl guides has been marked with a set of commemorative stamps. Girlguiding has been immortalised on a new set of Royal Mail stamps.
Julietta Edgar, head of special stamps at the Royal Mail, said: "We wanted this special centenary miniature sheet of stamps to capture the many activities undertaken by Girlguides today".
