Happy World Thinking Day!

As members of Girlguiding, our Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers & Trefoil are all part of a bigger movement - the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGS).

World Thinking Day is a chance for us to connect with 10 million Girl Guides & Girl Scouts across the globe and shout about the amazing things we do every week!

The theme for World Thinking Day 2024 is Our World, Our Thriving Future.

So lovely to see the beautiful ‘Our Town’ artwork on display at The Beacon. A super community collaboration that the Guides, Brownies & Rangers were proud to be part of. Take a look when you’re next in the surgery and see what you can find!

The artwork was compiled from 234 pictures created by local people of all ages and was originally displayed on the Sidmouth Wallspace billboard

We now have a new Ranger unit up & running in Sidmouth! We meet up on a Thursday evening in Lawn Vista. For girls aged 14-18, we provide a space to get together with other girls, have fun, give back, hang out and just be themselves. We were busy last term designing & painting the fish for the UV scene at the Panto and had a super exciting 3 day trip to London where 5 of our Rangers renewed their promises at some London landmarks! This term we are working toward our ‘Be Well’ theme award. In this theme the girls will learn how to stay healthy and how to help others when they’re hurt.

We look forward to our next adventures…

If you’d like to know more about us or can help us in anyway, please message through this page.

On Sunday, we leant a hand to LMEvents and marshalled the water station and turnaround point of the Sidmouth 10k. We had great fun cheering on the runners, especially Brown Owl Kathy!
