Girlguiding London and South East England international adventures 2026

Are you ready for an international adventure? Would you like to travel and explore the world with other members of Girlguiding? Are you going to be aged between 14-17 in the summer of 2026?

Taking part in an international trip with Girlguiding London and South East England includes making and travelling with new friends from across the region, meeting local Guides or Scouts while you’re away, visiting places of cultural and natural interest and trying new and exciting activities. You will develop lots of new life skills and create memories with a new group of friends.

You will be part of a team of other Guides/Rangers/young leaders and a group of adult leaders and together you will plan your international adventure. You are likely to be away for between two and three weeks and will have three preparation weekends before setting off, in order to get to know your team. The region will actively encourage groups to consider the environmental impact of their adventure and how they can reduce and offset this impact throughout.

We expect the cost of the adventure, depending on the trip to be in region of £2,200 to £3,200 and as this is an international Girlguiding adventure you will be encouraged to do fundraising and apply for grants to support this.

We are currently considering trips to a European Jamboree, Interrailing in Europe and an exploration further afield but we encourage you to get involved in deciding the exact destinations and planning.

Please note that young members need to aged between 14-17 in Summer 2026, born on or after 1/9/2008.

I thoroughly enjoyed my international adventure as part of Girlguiding. Not only did I gain organisation and teamwork skills through the planning of this trip, but I also made memories that will last forever with a group of supportive leaders and friends. I can't wait to travel internationally with Girlguiding in the future!

The international trip was no doubt the best experience of my life! Not only did I get to see so many beautiful new countries, eat lots of delicious food and do a tone of new adventurous activities, but I grew as a person in my confidence and maturity. I made so many friends for life and did so many things that were outside of my comfort zone, but they challenged me in the best way possible.
