Adult volunteers are what make it possible for so many girls to enjoy, explorer and discover through guiding. But why give up your time? There are lots of motivations for people to volunteer with girlguiding. I wanted their to be opportunities for my own girls (I am mum to a Rainbow and Brownie) as I knew how much they got out of guiding. I was a Brownie, a Guide and Young Leader so I knew how much it had helped me and shaped me and the opportunities I had because of my involvement. However not all our volunteers are parents, some want to improve the oppotunties for young people, some have grown up in guiding, some want to develop their own skills for employment and career opportunities. Don't worry if you weren't a guide as a child - we have two volunteers who have only been invovled as adults. We also have volunteers of a variety of ages, from our young leaders at 15 and adult leaders from 20 through to 66!
Girlguiding provides lots of friendship for adult volunteers, and have certainly developed some great lasting friendships and support networks. There are also social opportunities for adults, aswell as great training opportunities.
Volunteering opportunities are flexible, some of our volunteers give an hour each week to help at meetings, some come along to share a special skill or activity, some help with transport, and lastly some choose to help with planning and camps.
So the motive behind this blog! We really need new volunteers for our units in Loftus, so we can expand the opportunities for girls in our district. If you can give a small amount of time please do get in touch and see where the a
