Welcome to Bristol and South Gloucestershire's County Website!

We hope that you will find it both useful and informative. Bristol and South Gloucestershire is part of Girlguiding UK , which is the largest female organisation in the country, enabling girls and young women to develop their potential and to make a difference in the world.

Girlguiding today aims to:

• provide a safe, girl only environment
• be appropriate for girls today
• uphold diversity and equality
• encourage our young women and give them a voice

In Guiding today girls have the opportunity to develop leadership and management skills, gaining a sense of empowerment, learning to take the initiative and making lasting friendships at home and abroad.

Guiding is about team building, caring for others, adventure and having fun. Guiding offers some thing for everyone, from exploring the outdoors, crafts to protecting the environment. Bristol and South Gloucestershire has over 6,000 members. Units usually meet weekly during the school term. If you would like to join please contact us. Guiding has always been about having fun, lots of fun. It is modern and relevant and provides exciting opportunities for all ages to achieve their full potential.
