Why not join us for Avontuur Amsterdam 24 October 2027– a fantastic opportunity to practise planning and delivering an international adventure, with support on hand to help guide you through your first trip. You can come as a team of adults, or bring your Guides, Rangers or Young Leaders along for the experience!
Inspired by cityscapes in Portsmouth we are organising a one-day wide game in the city of Amsterdam for Guides, Rangers and Young Leaders with their leaders. Your team will navigate famous landmarks, solve challenges, explore the city, and connect with other members from across our region.
Cityscapes Adventure is back for 2027, taking place on 13 and 14 March across Brighton, Nottingham, Norwich, Carlisle and Belfast.
When: Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 March 2027. (Both days are the same, so you only need to pick 1 to attend.)
Where: Brighton (2 days), Nottingham (2 days), Norwich (2 days), Carlisle (2 days) and Belfast (1 day - Saturday).
Who: Any member of Girlguiding and the Trefoil Guild. It's open to all ages - from Rainbows to Rangers and beyond. Sign up as a team in whatever way works for you. That could be your guiding besties, your unit or your district, division or county.
Price: £10 per person. That includes your own special badge!
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.
