We should we take an interest in Girl Guiding!

Thank you for taking interest in our blog. We are trying to raise awareness of the services provided which is girl guiding. We would like you to be more aware of what is being offered to you, and hopefully change your opinion of the incorrect stereotypical thought of girl guiding.

When you’ve read our blog, we hope you will try to find a way of considering taking part in girl guiding, if you’re not already!
So, why should you go to girl guiding?

* It is an amazing way to meet new people and be more sociable to prepare you for social challenges that you may face in the future.
* Go to learn about the environment and what you alone can do to reduce your carbon footprint.
* Instead of being at home watching TV on a rainy night, when that’s all that seems achievable in such conditions, you could be having fun and learning at a guide meeting.
* Issues that are discussed in the meetings, may give you a head start or insight into a subject that may well be discussed at school, or be an issue which you haven’t heard of and feel strong enough about to do something about it.
* It’s a great time to be able to take time away from any troubles you’re having at school or at home.

  13. This sounds really fun! There seems to be a lot of activities that sound really fun, but i can do those activities without joining Girl Guides. I hope your advocacy all goes well. Rachel Berry x
