Girlguiding Celebrates deadline has been extended to Monday 26th January 2026. We have so many ‘unsung heroes’ in our County!

Please consider nominating a volunteer that you feel goes the extra mile. There are some real superstars that don’t always get recognised for their input, enthusiasm and commitment to our wonderful members.

It might be a young leader who volunteers every week at Rainbows or a leader in who runs an amazing Guide group, perhaps they're someone who ran your Brownie unit when you were a young member and is still putting in the graft every year.

Successful nominations will be invited to attend Girlguiding Celebrates in London on Saturday 6 June 20

The Radcliffe Centre hosted a Guiding for Good event over the weekend with 53 Rainbows, Brownies and Guides.

Their combined efforts resulted in 2 bug hotels, 5 insect houses, 2 ladybird retreats and a log pile. There are 8 bird boxes and 3 bat boxes ready to be placed in trees and forest full of trees planted.

We added an additional bird feeding station in our bird watching area and made fat balls to go in it. Finally we now have a fantastic branch pile for den building.

We hope that the 4 bird houses and squirrel feeder that went home find great spots in the community.
