The Queen’s Guide award is the highest award you can work towards in guiding.
It gives you the chance to develop your skills, give back to guiding and support your local community. It’s open to members aged 16 to 30 and must be completed within 3 years from the start date or before your 31st birthday, whichever is sooner.
Why should I get involved?
The Queen’s Guide award isn’t just a great achievement to share with other members of Girlguiding. It also shows potential employers and further education organisations you've challenged yourself and achieved goals in lots of different ways.
The programme can also be matched with activities you are already doing in guiding, meaning you can get more than one award for the challenges you are taking on – such as the Duke of Edinburgh's award (DofE), Lead Away permit and going away with license.

As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Queen's Guide award, we're proud to look back on the incredible achievements of those who have earned this prestigious award over the years.
Past and present Queen's Guide award recipients share their photographs, memories, and stories, celebrating the experiences, challenges, and accomplishments that have shaped their journeys. We hope these reflections inspire today's members as they continue to strive for this remarkable achievement.
To mark this milestone, don't forget that the 80th Anniversary commemorative badge and booklet are available to purchase from the region Shop while stocks last.
