Story
Girl Guides (known as Girl Scouts in the United States and some other countries) is a worldwide movement, originally and largely still designed for girls and women only. The movement began in 1909 and continues to give a safe space for girls to make friends and grow in confidence and learning today.
The 1st Gorebridge Guides run a weekly meeting for girls in the local area and allow them to do a range of activities that some of the girls would never be able to do in day to day life.
We are fundraising to support them to continue in their endeavours to be able to bring new experiences to the girls and allow those that do not have the same access to funds to be able to take part in all the activities.
Both of us have had the enjoyment of being part of girl guiding throughout our childhood.
