Leaders (Ages 18 - 65 years)

Adult Leaders and Unit Helpers are volunteers who work directly with girls to run Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or Senior Section units. Being a Leader is really rewarding because you get to see young people enjoying events and activities that you've organised and watch them grow in confidence and ability as time goes on.

If you don't want to take on the full responsibility of being a Leader you can still be involved with young people by becoming a Unit Helper or taking up one of the many other guiding roles.

New Leaders work towards the Girlguiding Leadership Qualification and there are lots of ongoing training and development opportunities. For everyone's peace of mind all adult volunteers must undergo a criminal record check.
