ADVANCED NOTICE!

Girlguiding's Online Design Centre (ODC) will retire on 13 September 2026 as they prepare to move to a new tool for creating Girlguiding branded resources.

If you've created materials in the ODC before, please take a few minutes to download anything you'd like to keep, including completed designs, drafts and any templates you regularly use. Once the ODC closes, these files won't be available until the new tool launches.

Girlguiding will share more information about the new tool in the coming months. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

We’re thrilled to be taking part in Heritage Week for the very first time. On Saturday 19th September, we’re opening our doors and welcoming visitors into our lovely building to explore a special Heritage exhibition prepared by our hardworking archives team.

The day will also feature a fascinating talk about Mrs Cadbury, a former County Commissioner whose vision and leadership helped shape Girlguiding in Birmingham. We can’t wait to share her story — and ours — with the community

We’re opening specially this Saturday 15th August, 10–2! After a fantastic sell‑out launch of the new uniform, the Birmingham Guide Shop is stocked up again — plus Ranger uniform, combat trousers and more.

Pop in to browse, try on, order, or buy. Your support means so much, and all profit goes right back into Girlguiding Birmingham.
