Unit programme planning checklist
Remember, the girls should choose the activities that form the
programme. As leaders, we organise their choices by putting things
together in a balanced and varied programme.

Dear Girlguiding...
Dear Girlguiding,
I know that we’re supposed
to run different skills builder
groupsatthesametime,but
I run the unit on my own with
a parent rota and I just don’t
think I can manage it. Is it OK
if the unit just all works on the
same thing at the same time?
Dear Girlguiding,
I have read through the unit
meeting activity cards and
there are some activities that
I just don’t have the skills to
deliver. Is it OK if I remove
them from the pack before I
give the pack to the girls to
choose from?
Suggestions could include:
• Chattotheparents,wouldanyofthembewillingtohelpyou
organisetheequipmentneededforthedifferentactivities,soyou
could offer girls the choice of topic A or B?
• Teamupwithanotherunit–couldyoubothpreparesufcient
equipment and materials for both units for one skills builder
stage,andthenmeetupandexchangepackages,soyoucanboth
deliverbothoptions?Or,maybehavesomejointmeetingsand
organise two different skills builders between you?
• Talktoyourlocalcommissionerandndoutifthereisanyone
who would be willing to come and support you for a particular
topicforafewweeks.Perhapsthiscouldbealocaladviser,
occasional helper or member of the Trefoil Guild.
• Finally,itisbetterforthegirlstoparticipateinactivitiesthey
have chosen. So if you are only able to provide one skills builder
stagecurrently,makesurethegirlshavechosenwhattheywould
liketodo;andreviewthesituationatyournextplanningsession
toseeifthere’sawayyoucouldoffertwochoicesnexttime.
Suggestions could include:
• All of the activities have been designed to be girl-led as far
as possible. So if you are able to provide the equipment and
resources the girls may be able to teach themselves with little
adult input (depending on the activity and the age group).
• The unit meeting activity cards provide lots of useful information
forunitstohelpyourunactivitiessuccessfully,includingnotes
toleaders,toptips,staysafeguidanceanddetailedinstructions
for girls. This means that they support leaders to try new things
themselves,besupportedtoofferactivitiestogirlsontopics
aboutwhichtheymighthavelimitedknowledgeorexperience,
andcontinuallyrefreshtheirownexperiencesasaleader.
• Chattotheparentsorotherlocalleadersatadistrictmeeting,
forexample–doessomeonehavetheskills,orknowsomeonewho
has,whocouldcomeinandsupportthegirlstotrytheactivity?
• Link up with another unit in your area to try out the activity.
• Is there a video online that would be appropriate to show the
girls to teach them the skills they need to learn to complete the
activity?

Dear Girlguiding,
I gave the unit meeting
activities pack to my girls last
night and there are only 3 out
of the 12 activities that the
girls want to do. Help!
Dear Girlguiding,
I have one girl who wants to
work on a skills builder stage
that no one else in the unit
wants to do. What should I do?
Suggestions could include:
• Asaleader,oneofourrolesistointroducegirlstonew
challengesandexpandtheirhorizons.Startwiththeactivities
theyhavechosen,butrevisittheonestheyrejectedandaskthem
toexplainwhytheydon’twanttodothem.Aretherecounter
arguments you can put forward that would enable them to look
at things differently? Perhaps you could consider ways for girls
to make decisions that enable everyone to have an equal voice
–somegirlsmayfeelunabletoexpresstheiropinionifitdiffers
fromthemajorityofthegrouporaparticularindividual,so
options like blind voting or anonymous voting can be used.
• Handthepackoutagainandchallengethegirlstoidentifysix
activitiestocompleteoverthenextsixweeks–onefromeach
theme. This will encourage the girls to look again at the things
theydidn’twanttodo,andpickfromtheminordertomeetthe
challengecriteria.Or,perhapsyoucouldsplitthecardsbetween
small groups and asking them to select their top 1/2/3. The girls
thenpresenttheirchoicesbacktotherestoftheunit,andthe
unitvotesforitssixfavourites.
• Join with another unit to do one or more of the activities your
girlsdidn’tchoose.Hopefullytheywillhavefun,andmakesome
newfriends,aswellascompletetheactivitiestheydidn’tthink
they wanted to do.
Suggestions could include:
• Askthegirltochattoherpeersandexplainwhysheissokeento
do that particular skills builder and see if anyone else is keen to
exploreitabitmoreandconsiderjoiningher.
• Explaintothegirlthatshewillneedtojoinwithanothergroup
this time; but reassure her that her chosen topic will be included
inthenextsuiteofskillsbuildersthattheunitcompletes(ifyou
know that to be the case). Suggest that in the meantime she
might like to complete an associated interest badge relating to
her preferred theme or topic. Encourage her to consider badges
toworkon,oryoumayalsobeabletosignposttootherguiding
opportunities outside the unit related to that particular skill.
• Consider the way in which girls choose their skills builder options
– perhaps they could be asked to pick two options from those you
areabletooffer,sothattheyhaveasecondchoice,too?
• Ask if any other local units are running the topic and stage that
shewouldliketocomplete,andsuggestthatshejoinswiththem
for the duration of the skills builder (this suggestion is more
likely to be applicable to Guides and Rangers units due to the
girl’s age).
