02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Guides have an exciting and varied programme designed to inspire, challenge and encourage girls to make a difference in their community. Guides is an excellent opportunity to get out there and do something really different. Girls create their own campaigns, learn and share new skills and fly down the occasional zip wire. They explore new places like camps, trips and enjoy exciting events internationally and at home. As girls progress through Guides they’ll have a chance to lead small groups and support younger girls to have fun and make friends. They can even get involved in our leadership opportunities. Girls decide together in their groups what they do in their meetings. Choosing from the wide range of badges, skills and activities covered by our six programme themes. Guides work towards interest badges – about photography, geocaching, human rights and more – develop life skills with skills builders and earn unique awards like the Guide Gold award and the six Theme awards
