Some of our Brownies were away today but that didn’t stop us. Lots of sugar fuelled fun at Grove Vale this evening. We were very impressed with all the spooky creations that the Rainbows and Brownies made 🎃 👻

Looking for a way to make a real difference in your community? Girlguiding volunteers help girls grow their confidence, discover new skills and have fun – and along the way, volunteers gain just as much.
Whether you can give an hour a month or a couple each week, your time helps create safe, supportive spaces where girls can be themselves. You’ll build your own skills too – from leadership and teamwork to event planning and outdoor adventure.
If you’re ready to do something that matters, we’d love to welcome you.

Rainbows and Brownies at Grove Vale had lots of fun last night. They got hands on learning about different tools, what to use them for and how to use it them safely 🔨🔩🪛

We have teamed up with Plan International UK to bring their Period Proud Peers programme to Guide and Ranger units, breaking down stigma and helping girls feel more confident to manage their periods and speak about them openly.

‘The online workshop was really interesting and informative, and the facilitators were fantastic. It’s one of the best online trainings I have done!’ - Guide Leader, South West region

‘I just want to say how good this was for our unit. We'd never done anything like this before, and it really encouraged girls to ask questions and share personal experiences to help others.’ - Guide leader, North East region

The programme gives young people the opportunity to become a Period Proud Peer and lead fun, friendly, period-related activities within their unit. If you’ve already attended a workshop, don’t forget to hold your period proud sessions, and complete the feedback form to receive your free badges!

If you’re interested in attending one of our leader, Ranger or young leader workshops, register now on our website - https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/what-we-do/events-and-opportunities/event-and-opportunity-finder/period-proud-peer/

A little more magic left the world today.

Today, Girl Scouts everywhere are saying goodbye to one of our own, Dolly Parton. She understood something we know so well in Girl Scouting: that when a girl is encouraged to dream, given the confidence to try, and surrounded by people who believe in her, she can change the world. Dolly spent her life doing exactly that. She lifted others up, opened doors, gave back, and reminded us that you can be wonderfully yourself while making a difference in the lives of others.

In 2007, she became a Girl Scout Lifetime Member, receiving her very own sash and badges. The Coat of Many Colors Patch was also developed here at Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians and thousands of girls across the globe have participated and earned it.

Thank you, Dolly, for showing us what it looks like to dream bigger, love bigger, and give bigger.

Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout.🦋💚

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” 💜
Volunteering gives you space to reconnect — with your community, with others, and with what truly matters.
Whether it’s a moment around a campfire or helping a girl believe in herself, these experiences bring purpose that lasts far beyond the week.
