⛺ Take part in our 2026 Residential Challenge for counties... 26% in 2026! 🏆

Residential experiences are where lifelong guiding memories are made. This year, we want more young members to experience going away. By the end of the year, we want 26% of young members in each county to have been on at least one residential trip during the year; whether that is for one night, two nights or more.

Did you know we have over 8000 volunteers in our region?✨

Every single volunteer helps keep guiding going. This means more trips, more fun days, and more friendships. Being a volutneer for Girlguiding North West England is more than unit meetings, it's the laughs we have, supporting each other through a new challenge, and it's always trying our best.

We're fun. We're flexible. We're Girlguiding North West England. Join us by visiting our region website www.girlguidingnwe.org.uk/
