| The Guide uniform has been designed so that you have a lot of choice. You can choose from t-shirts, rugby shirts, sweat shirts and gilets on the top half. Our unit wears dark trousers or skirts for the bottom half. Of course it is important to think about the whether the uniform chosen is suitable for the activity i.e is it warm enough?, safe enough?, smart enough?...... your choice! |
| Guides are usually aged between 10 and 14, although some Guides like to stay until they are older. Any girl over the age of ten can become a Guide as long as she is able to understand, and wants to make, the Guide Promise. Being a Guide is all about belonging to a group, learning new skills, making new friends and helping others. Each Guide is encouraged to achieve her own personal goals through a progressive programme with the opportunity to work for a wide variety of badges. This allows the girl to mature and develop at her own pace. Guides work together in Patrols, groups of four to eight girls, providing a ready-made group of friends and helping the girls to feel that they belong to something special. They elect their own leader. A Patrol plans its own activities with the support of the Guide Guider so that each Guide learns to share in decisions that affect herself and others in the Patrol. |
| The Guide Law A Guide is honest, reliable and can be trusted. A Guide is helpful and uses her time and abilities wisely. A Guide faces challenge and learns from her experiences. A Guide is a good friend and a sister to all Guides. A Guide is polite and considerate. A Guide respects all living things and takes care of the world around her. |
