Girlguiding Edinburgh

Official account of Girlguiding Edinburgh. We support more than 4,000 Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers across the city. We give them a space to have fun.

Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. We build girls' confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential and encourage them to be a powerful force for good. What makes guiding special? We are for all girls:

Whatever their background, faith, or circumstances, we offer fun, exciting activities and the chance to make lif

elong friends. We give girls their own space:

They can be themselves and share the experience of growing up as a girl in today's world, while learning about sensitive issues affecting their peers around the world. We give girls a voice:

They gain confidence, skills, and information necessary to make informed decisions and speak out and take positive action to improve their lives and the lives of others. We change as the lives of girls change:

We listen and constantly evolve and adapt what we offer them without losing what makes us uniquely us.

202A Rainbows had dinner together to end a busy term. They had some delicious crudities, garlic butter and dough balls for a starter, created their own pizzas for the main and finished it off with some vanilla gelato all washed down with unlimited squash/water. Safe to say everyone was stuffed and had a lovely evening. 🍕
