Girlguiding Sections
The Girlguiding movement is divided into sections each addressing the needs of a specific age group of girls and young women.
The following information comes from the Girlguiding UK National website (http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/) by clicking on the heading of each section you will be taken to more information available on that site.
What do Rainbows do?
Rainbows have fun! They take part in games and activities as part of their programme. Everything a Rainbow does helps her to develop and to think for herself, in a safe girl-only environment. Any girl aged five to seven can be a Rainbow.
What do Brownies do?
Brownies are usually aged between seven and 10. Brownies have fun! They take part in indoor and outdoor activities that challenge them to do their best.
What do Guides do?
Guides are usually aged between ten and 14. Being a Guide is all about learning new skills, making new friends and helping others.
Looking for Baden Powell Adventures?
Members should look at our Events Diary in the Members Section.
What does the Senior Section do?
A young woman may belong to the Senior Section from her 14th to her 26th birthday. Unlike other sections of Girlguiding UK, there are lots of ways that you can be a member of this section.
What do Leaders do?
Adult Leaders work directly with girls and young women to run Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or Senior Section units. The adult Leader will take Girlguiding UK's Leadership Qualification.
Members with disabilities
If a girl is able to understand the Promise - this does not mean that she has to be able to say it - then she can become a member of Girlguiding UK.
