💭 She’s not the guiding type.
Ah yes.
The guiding type.
A rare mythical creature who:
🧶 loves knitting
🌧️ enjoys standing in the rain
🤐 is always well behaved
📏 sits quietly in straight lines
😇 has never once shouted “THAT’S NOT FAIR”
…said no actual Guide ever.
Here’s who is the guiding type:
✔ The girl who won’t stop talking
✔ The girl who won’t talk at all
✔ The girl who hates mud but loves snacks
✔ The girl who’s nervous but curious
✔ The girl who tries everything once (and complains loudly)
✔ The girl who says “I can’t” and then does it by accident
Guiding is not:
❌ A personality test
❌ A camping cult
❌ Just badges and clipboards
Guiding is:
✅ Controlled chaos
✅ Confidence building disguised as fun
✅ Learning stuff without realising it
✅ Snacks. So many snacks.
If your child has ever:
“I don’t know anyone 😬”
“I’ll be rubbish at it 😩”
“I don’t want to but also I do 🫣”
CONGRATULATIONS.
That is peak guiding energy.
