Welcome to Guides
Guides is all about fun, learning and making
things happen.
Guides is for girls aged 10-14. Guides get involved in
planning everything they do such as adventurous activities
and exploring new places, helping the community and
learning skills for life.
What do Guides need?
Guides don’t need anything in particular to get
started – as long as they’re in sensible clothes and
shoes (think fun and active) then they can join
straight away. Your Guide leader will talk to you in
the rst few weeks to organise things like uniform,
once your child has settled in.
Girlguiding produces everything you’ll need – comfy
Guide uniform, a Guide handbook (which tells your
child all about being a Guide), and a range of
Guide accessories and resources to help her feel
atnhome in guiding. You can buy these online at
girlguidingshop.co.uk, from our Guiding Essentials
catalogue or from our local volunteer run shops.
Only if you buy directly from us can you be sure that
100% of prots stay in guiding, enabling us to offer
life-changing opportunities to even more girls
and young women.
If you have any questions about what your child
needs to get started in Guides, please speak to
your Guide leader.
What does it cost to be a Guide?
All Girlguiding groups (also called ‘units’) charge
subscriptions or ‘subs’ to cover the costs of equipment,
activities and hiring the meeting place. These can be
paid weekly, monthly or each term. There’s also an
annual subscription paid by all members that covers
the day-to-day running of our charity and your local
guiding area. This is sometimes included in subs.
Because all Girlguiding units are different costs can
vary. Your Guide leader will let you know the costs
for your unit and when these can be paid. There’s
usually an extra charge for special activities, days
out, residential events and holidays. Your Guide unit
leader will share all the information you need about
these in advance so look out for more information.
We try to make guiding affordable for all girls and
there’s help at hand if you can’t meet the costs.
If you’re concerned about any of these costs, speak to
your unit leader and she can tell you about ways we
can help, including our grants.
As Girlguiding is a charity, if you pay income tax we
can use Gift Aid to claim 25p for every £1 you give us,
including your child’s subs. So we’d really appreciate
it if you could sign the Gift Aid form on p7: the extra
money will go straight back to your child’s unit.
What you should do to support your
Guide and the volunteers
at the unit?
All of our units are run by volunteers who give up
their time to create an environment that empowers
young members to be the best that they can be. The
Girlguiding community treats everyone with respect
and dignity and values the support that parents/carers
can give to help to set positive examples. You can help
and support your Guide and the volunteers at
your unit by:
P
Encouraging your Guide to get involved and
bringing her along regularly to unit meetings.
P
Letting your unit leader know in advance if the
young member is unable to attend.
P
Keeping your personal details up to date on
the membership system and informing the unit
leaders of any changes. This is to ensure your
Guide’s safety.
P
Looking out for information and returning
paperwork (such as consent forms) promptly.
P
Making payments on time.
P
Encouraging your Guide to understand and
uphold the Girlguiding Promise and Laws.
Moving on from Guides
Once your child turns 14 years old, she can continue
her Girlguiding journey in Rangers, for girls aged 14 -18.
When the time comes, your Guide leader can tell you
everything you need to know and support you and your
child to make the move.

Photo preference – Compulsory Field
We sometimes take photos and/or videos during our activities.
Please indicate below your preference for the way in which we can use the photos of your child.
Choose ONE option only.
[a] ‘Photos/videos can be shared and published and used for marketing - this means I am happy for
photos, videos, storytelling and other visual and audio content of my child to be taken/collected,
used for promotional and marketing purposes, published in public-facing media and shared within
Girlguiding and with partners and local newspapers’.
[b] ‘Photo/videos can be used for unit use only - this means I am happy for photos, videos, storytelling
and other visual and audio content of my child to be taken/collected, used as a record of unit
activities, not published in any public-facing media and not shared outside the unit’. This may include
unit specic social media channels (that are closed to the public).
[c] ‘Do not take photo/videos - this means I do not want photos, videos, storytelling and other visual and
audio content featuring my child to be taken’.
Volunteering
We couldn’t do any of the work without our volunteers. Every extra adult helping out makes a massive
difference – is this something you’d consider? Girlguiding could not run without our volunteers, we have a
variety of different roles, if you can help out once a term, once a year or share a skill…….
We understand that this won’t be possible for everyone, any support you can offer will be warmly welcomed.
Photo/video permissions differ for large scale events (where over 100 participants are present). Consent
forms will state clearly if an event is large scale, and will request parent/carer to tell leaders if they do not
wish photos/videos of their Guide to be taken at the event.
Communications
To deliver good quality guiding, local leaders will need to communicate with members or young member’s
parent/carer. We need to be able to tell you the information, that you need to know, so together we can
participate in great local guiding. The unit leader may also need to contact you about any last-minute
changes to our plans. Please speak to your unit leader to nd out more.
Phone numbers
I am happy for my child’s leader to store my telephone number on her personal mobile phone
Conrmation
I conrm that the information that I have provided for this form is correct at the time provided and that I
have read the information about supporting my child and the unit volunteers. I am happy for Girlguiding to
contact me in the ways I have indicated above. I understand that the Girlguiding community treats everyone
with respect and dignity and I understand my role in helping to uphold the values of Girlguiding.
