As we celebrate the 80th birthday of the Queen's Guide award, Girlguiding South West England are looking for stories from Queen's Guides, past and present.
Have you completed your Queen's Guide Award? We'd love to hear about your experiences, adventures, challenges, and achievements. Please send us your photos and stories so we can help showcase the rich history and impact of the award across our region.
We love hearing about what our members get up to! This amazing Brownie, Morgan, held a cake sale at her house to raise money for her unit. She raised an amazing £52! A very well done to you, Morgan.
We adored her message which landed in our inbox:
"To Girlguiding,
My name is Morgan. I am 7 years old and go to Brownies. Girlguiding is amazing! It helps me be creative try new things and help other people and I love my leaders. Girlguiding helped me go to the Dorset Heavy horse centre I loved it and liked riding on the horses. I had a cake sale at my house and I raised £52 for Girlguiding.
Thank you for helping me and my friends.
Love from Morgan"
We have added three new dates in the summer holidays for our brilliant 12 3/4 Holiday Adventures!
Come and join us at the Girlguiding South West England office for a day (or three!) of fun, friendship and challenge. Open to Rainbows, Brownies and Guides, the days will give girls opportunities to complete some badges and try out a variety of different activities such as crafts, arts, cooking and coding.
Huge congratulations to our wonderful Chief Commissioner, Racheal Tattum, on receiving her Laurel award.
This prestigious award recognises exceptional service and dedication, and is a fitting tribute to the tremendous contribution Racheal has made to guiding.
The Chief Guide, Tracy Foster, paid a special visit on Sunday 31 May to surprise Racheal and present her with the award in person, making the occasion even more memorable.
Racheal's commitment, leadership, and unwavering support have inspired so many across the organisation, and this recognition is thoroughly deserved.
Well done, Racheal, and thank you for everything you do!
Opportunities exist to join the team developing the World Thinking Day 2027 resource for Girlguiding South West England.
Over recent years, GGSWE have produced resources for use by unit leaders to help introduce young members to world guiding. We would like to collate these resources into an online library that is easily searchable by leaders.
