Brownie Youth Group Helper

Girlguiding Bedfordshire

You did not enter a postcode in the search, or the postcode for this role is unknown.

Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. We build girls’ confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential and encourage them to be a powerful force for good. We give them a space to have fun.

Brownies is for girls aged seven to ten. Brownies is about trying new things that teach girls aged seven to ten about themselves, their community and their world. Girls go along to camps, holidays, day trips and sleepovers. They get together with their friends at regular meetings where they learn new hobbies, get creative, explore other cultures and have outdoor adventures.

Volunteering with us isn't just about campfires and helping girls to get their next badge - although those are special moments that we all share, it's about empowering girls, giving them new experiences and being a role model whilst sharing and developing your skills. You don't need to have been involved in guiding before.

At the heart of guiding are the unit meetings that girls go along to each week. Volunteering at unit meetings means getting messy, meeting new people and running activities that help girls discover their potential and build their confidence. Unit meetings are usually an hour and a half once a week, during term time.
These roles are perfect if you want to:
• Support girls on a regular basis and see them grow
• Get stuck into adventurous (and often messy!) activities
• Have a rewarding role where you'll develop great relationships with girls and volunteers
Once you have expressed an interest in this role a current volunteer will contact you for a chat and to answer any questions. then we will ask you to register on our volunteer membership system.
