Could you be a Guider?

Guiders are volunteer leaders trained to help girls and young women to achieve their full potential. Any woman between her 18th and 65th birthdays can become a Guider, as long as she is willing and able to make the Guide Promise and undertake the necessary training. Guiding offers its leaders the chance of making a personal contribution to the future and, at the same time, of widening their own horizons and friendships. Together with the hard work and commitment there is lots of fun!

A Guider also needs to have time to give. This will be primarily for the unit meeting, in most cases one evening a week, but also for planning, preparation and administration, plus occasional diary dates like District meetings and training sessions.

Guiders spend alot of time building up relationships with young people - helping them with new challenges and to live their lives to the full. So getting on well with people is a very necessary talent. A good relationship with her Guider will foster a girl or young woman's self esteem and her ability to relate to others.
