Guiding for Good

We’d like to see as many members as possible serving their communities and helping others through creating or getting involved in local projects during this dedicated week (and beyond!).

We know from Girlguiding's Girls' Attitudes Survey that feeling part of a community, giving back, and speaking up is increasingly important to girls and especially to Girlguiding members (Impact Report 2023). It’s also an opportunity to put our promise into action and increase our visibility in our communities.

Think of a project your unit, district, division or even county could do to take action in your local community. It could be a visit to a residential home, helping out at a food bank or undertaking a local conservation project. Ideally, your project will have you visible in or interacting with your community.

See the ideas below for inspiration – these pages will be continuously updated with ideas and information over the summer and in the run up to Guiding for Good week. Or use your own ideas and contacts in your community. You'll also find a range of resources to help you along the way and share what you’re up to.

Of course! We'll email everyone who signed up after the week and ask you to complete a short survey after you've completed your activity or project. As a thank you, we'll post you your free badges (postage also free of charge). We'll aim to send these in one batch in the second half of term.
