Being a Guide is all about learning new skills, making new friends and helping others. Each Guide is encouraged to achieve her own personal goals with the opportunity to work for a wide variety of badges and Go For It’s. This allows the girl to develop at her own pace.

Guides work together in Patrols, groups of four to eight girls, providing a ready-made group of friends and helping the girls to feel that they belong to something special. A Patrol plans its own activities with the support of the Guide Leader so that each Guide learns to share in decisions that affect herself and others in the Patrol.

Guides are usually aged between 10 and 14. Any girl over the age of 10 can become a Guide as long as she is able to understand, and wants to make, the Guide Promise.

Girls are encouraged to grow into well balanced, active young people through a dynamic programme which covers five 'Zones'.
