FAQs

My daughter wants to join Rainbows/Brownies/Guides/ Rangers?

Please click on the Join Us button and register your daughter.  Our local volunteers will reply within 21 days.  Be aware that many of our units do have waiting lists however we are always looking to recruit new volunteers so that we can offer spaces to more girls.

How much will it cost?

Weekly or termly subscriptions vary depending on the unit’s costs.  Some units absorb the annual subscription to Girlguiding into their unit subscription paid by parents, others charge this as an additional cost.  As all of our leaders and commissioners are unpaid volunteers we are able to keep the costs lower than many after school activities.

Good quality second hand uniform is widely available and some units have their own stock of preloved uniform.

We advise registering to Join Us and selecting your preferred units and the leader of your first choice will be in touch within 21 days.

We are looking for a service project for a D of E participant.

We have many young people attending our units as “Young External Volunteers” and assist the leadership team in planning and delivering our programme.

DofE participants looking to give 1-2 hours a week volunteering should register on our Join Us page.
