Unit
helpers play a very important role in the Girlguide
movement. Without them many units would not be in
existence. Unit helpers need no formal experience or
training in the Girlguide movement. Having a unit
helper at a unit meeting allows Rainbows to have 4
additional children, Brownies 6 children and Guides
an additional 6 children. For those wishing to help
but are unable to attend every unit meeting we have
rota helpers. By sharing the meetings between a
group of people you will only need to help at two or
three meetings a term. We are very flexible in our
approach; if you would like to participate in any
way please
contact us or apply
online

Warranted Guiders |
 |
|
Warranted Guiders are the life blood of the
Girlguide movement. Finding new guiders is very
hard. We now have older guides (age 18+) who are now
taking up the role of warranted guiders but there is
always opportunities for parents to become warranted
guiders (after training) and helping out at an
existing unit or even starting your own unit.
What is expected of a Guider/Assistant Guider?
