The autumn term is upon us and young people are getting back into their routine of school and other activities.
For many girls that includes Girlguiding. In addition to the usual weekly meetings the summer term saw Brownies visiting West Suffolk Hive, Guides trying adventurous activities at a Give It A Go day and Rainbows celebrating the end of the year in Nowton Park. Plans are afoot now for an active autumn term.
Since we have been able to get back to our usual range of activities waiting lists are beginning to grow again. We rely completely on adult volunteers. The more volunteers we have, the more girls we can include and the greater the variety of activities we can offer within our meetings. Could this be for you?
Working with young people is a rewarding experience and you can be attached to any section. Our young members are between 4 and 18 years
of age. Adult volunteers do not have to be uniformed leaders. You can be a Unit Helper, helping at weekly meetings and becoming as involved as you choose in planning and organisation. No qualification or training is needed to be a Unit Helper, but we would, of course, need to do safeguarding checks.
There are also opportunities for 16-18 year olds to join us as Young Leaders.
If you think you have something to offer why not find out more about volunteering with Girlguiding on the website?
