Guides
Guides (10–14)
Guides have an exciting and varied programme designed to inspire, challenge and encourage girls to make a difference in their community.
Guides is an excellent opportunity to get out there and do something really different. Girls create their own campaigns, learn and share new skills and fly down the occasional zip wire. They explore new places like camps, trips and enjoy exciting events like Tartan Gig.
Guides in Renfrewshire have been to Disneyland Paris, packed boxes at Christmas, and taken part in local and international camps.
- Girls at Guides won't be your average friends. They'll be the girls who want to go on adventures with you, who encourage you to try new things and who celebrate when you've pushed yourself to achieve something special.
- Guides work towards interest badges – about photography, geocaching, human rights and more, develop life skills with skills builders and work hard to earn unique awards like the Commonwealth award, the Guide Gold award and the six Theme awards.
- If there’s an issue girls really care about, Guides is a chance to make a difference. Girls are encouraged to speak out about what matters to them and to do something about it.
