What to Expect:

Both groups meet in separate rooms on Saturday mornings, once a month, for two hours. There is no catchment area and welcomes members from a wide range of locations.

The girls proudly wear their section uniforms, and follow the national Girlguiding Programme, adapted it to suit individual needs and interests.

Activities are sensory and practical, allowing girls to regularly earn badges, certificates, and awards.

The group also enjoy regular outings and are often invited to participate in District and Division events.

For our younger members, parents often attend as 1:1 support. Many parents also get involved—whether by running an activity table, making tea, or simply enjoying a chat with others.
