We want all girls to have the space and opportunities they need to thrive, grow and give back to their communities. More than 400,000 girls across the UK and over 2500 in Central Glamorgan, already meet regularly as Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. Together they learn skills, grow in confidence, make lifelong friendships, help their communities and have fun. Guiding is so much more than an after school activity or a way for girls to spend an evening. Here's why we are unique. We're girls only. That means girls feel free to be themselves. We give girls somewhere they can talk openly about what affects their daily lives and get support from other girls like them. When girls told us they wanted to talk about their mental well-being, we created 'Think Resilient' to help our young members lead those discussions. All girls in Girlguiding get the chance to choose what they do - from Rainbows picking activities, to members of Rangers section sitting on our UK Council. Every year, our Girls' Attitudes Survey gives girls and young women a chance to tell the world about the issues affecting them and what change they want to see. Then we plan campaigns with Advocate, our youth panel, and support girls to make that change happen. Our Leaders and adult volunteers give their time so that girls get their voices heard, do great activities and feel included and special. They are inspirational role models for girls too. In return we provide the adult volunteers with training opportunities so that they have the skills to offer girls the best possible guiding experience.
