Girlguiding Connect

Virtual guiding in London and South East England for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers

Our units are for any girl who is unable to attend in-person meetings, whatever the reason. This may be medical, anxiety or social reasons, which could be due to parents as well as girls. Because all girls have a home in Girlguiding - whoever they are, and wherever they are.

We’re seeking girls to join our virtual units for Rainbows (4-7), Brownies (7-10), Guides (10-14), and Rangers (14-18). Girls will be part of a safe and inclusive environment where they can feel an equal sense of belonging and be supported to reach their maximum potential. We help all girls know they can do anything. We’re Girlguiding Connect.

Meetings

All meetings are weekly on zoom. Apart from Brownies, all units meet throughout the year, with Brownies taking the summer holidays off from meetings. Girls don’t have to stay online for the whole of the meeting if this doesn’t fit with their energy levels.

Rainbows: Thursday
Brownies: Monday and Thursday
Guides: Monday and Wednesday
Rangers: Thursday

If these days don't work for you, please still get in touch as we are planning on opening more units soon.

We follow the Girlguiding Programme and earn badges - lots of badges that get posted out. We do all sorts of things at our online meetings, such as cooking, crafts, games, first aid, challenges, escape rooms, coding, art, mindfulness and other activities you would expect from Girlguiding (though passing things from one person to another is proves challenging, so we adapt activities to make them work on zoom!). It gives the girls some space to socialise with people that understand their situation and time to be themselves. We also have special events at weekends and sleepovers (sleep somewhere other than your bed), these are an opportunity for all the units to come together.
