Members' views on volunteering

Guide LeaderAt Girlguiding UK we think guiding is fantastic – but don’t take our word for it, read what our Leaders have to say:

‘It’s so much fun trying out different exciting activities with the girls. I’d recommend guiding to anyone who’s young at heart!’

‘It’s incredibly rewarding to watch a shy and nervous girl grow more and more outgoing and confident at each unit meeting.’

‘I’ve made some wonderful friends and met people from all over the world through guiding. It’s fantastic!’

‘Guiding has equipped me with the skills to develop both personally and professionally.’ 

‘I strongly believe that by volunteering I help contribute to giving girls and young women a sense of purpose and responsibility, and the confidence to do something positive in their communities.’

‘I drive home feeling absolutely over the moon and confident I’ve achieved something great!’

‘You get to meet lots of new people, have a go at organising and leading, and learn lots of new things.’

‘Being part of guiding has meant that I have met people from all over the country and done things that I would never have had the confidence to do before.’
