Get Involved!

 

Are you a parent, student or aged 18 to 65 and looking for a fun way to get involved with your community? Then you're just the sort of person we are looking for.
 
 
There are many roles available to adults within Girlguiding. Whilst we hope that most volunteers will want to be become unit Leaders, we do understand that not everyone has the time to make such a commitment, below are a few of the roles available to adult volunteers:

 

UNIT/ ASSISTANT LEADER - Every Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Senior Section unit has at least one qualified leader. The unit Leader has overall responsibility for the unit and is usually supported by Assistant Leaders.

 


UNIT HELPER - If you can help on a regular basis, once a week or fortnight, you could become a unit helper. Unit helpers assist the unit leaders and are an essential part of the unit. Girlguiding UK has to follow strict adult to child ratios – for example, one additional adult helper for a Brownie unit can mean that up to eight more girls can join.

 


UNIT/DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR - Sometimes it's really useful to have a few adults on hand to help the unit Leader with administrative tasks. This could range from producing letters on a computer to researching booking details for a trip or photocopying activity sheets.

 


UNIT/DISTRICT TREASURER - If you have a head for figures, you could play a vital role in helping the Unit Leader or District with the accounts.

 


However you choose to help out you, will be playing a significant part in the lives and development of girls and young women whilst developing your own skills and experience.
