Have you ever considered taking your Guides or Rangers to be part of an international event here in the UK?
This summer I was fortunate enough to take my Rangers to attend the Essex International Jamboree, which was an amazing event in a field in Essex filled with 8,000 scouts and Guides.
Attending a large-scale Jamboree is an amazing experience for girls and leaders alike but it can be different to a camp you do with just your unit. On a Jamboree you will live in/belong to a subcamp, which will have a different title based on the theme of the event. You will need to be self sufficient in terms of catering/first aid for the week (or duration). You will receive information from the organisers in a staggered way when they are ready to release it, which sometimes means you get information in perhaps a different way or order than you are used to.
Generally at the event the girls will go off to activities each morning and afternoon, often going to a zone which has lots of different activities in to try – and at least 1 of your leaders goes with them. Evenings will have a variety of things to choose from, with big stage activities, crafts, chill out zones, badge swapping, etc., and the girls will go off and explore.
The benefits of these events include meeting lots of people from across the country and world, developing social and confidence skills, growing independence in looking after themselves and kit, a chance to try activities that would be hard to do just as a single unit, as well as the opportunity to make choices of which activities to take part in as there is so much there.
