Girlguiding Becoming a volunteer and gaining so much more
and
est, ob”
At the start of last year, I wanted to try something new and help within my local community. I knew I wanted to volunteer and share my own time to give back. For my job, I work full time as a First School Teacher and therefore when wanting to volunteer, I knew something with young people would be rewarding. Girlguiding was my fi rst choice!
Remember, our
To volunteer with Girlguiding, I had to register my interest on their website and I was soon contacted by my local commissioner (Broadstone and Creekmoor, as this was the area I had specifi ed). We discussed local units that I could volunteer within and soon I was helping at First Broadstone Rainbows. From the fi rst night, I knew that this was something I would enjoy.

Recently, I have begun my Leader in Training (LIT) qualifi cation. This qualifi cation is for any woman who wishes to become a unit leader, assistant leader or members of The Senior Section taking a role within a unit. Throughout this qualifi cation, I have been taking part in local and regional training, which is not only helpful for my role within Girlguiding but has given me transferable skills and the opportunities to meet lots of new people.
If you are a business interested in joining the scheme Visit call 01202 261700 or email

As well as beginning my LIT, I have also recently taken over the leadership of First Broadstone Rainbows. I work with three other volunteers, who are all fantastic! Running a Rainbow unit is great fun. Firstly, it is all about the girls. Ensuring that they have a fun and a positive experience, trying new food, activities and meeting new people. We have been visited by our local Police Offi cer Caroline, had local Morris Dancers in, created some crafts for special events and had our own sports night. Secondly, you get to work alongside other volunteers who go above and beyond, to give up not only time for the meetings but to plan and resource activities too.

Since joining Girlguiding as a volunteer, I have not only supported the girls within my unit but found new friends, skills I didn’t know I had and been given opportunities to grow and develop further. Girlguiding is a huge family that I feel proud to be a member of.
