The Girlguiding movement is divided into sections each addressing the needs of a specific age group of girls and young women.

What do Rainbows do?

Rainbows have fun! They take part in indoor and outdoor activities as part of their programme called the Rainbow Jigsaw.

What do Brownies do?

Brownies are usually aged between seven and 10. Brownies have fun! They take part in indoor and outdoor activities that challenge them to do their best.

What do Guides do?

Guides are usually aged between ten and 14. Being a Guide is all about learning new skills, making new friends and helping others.

What does the Senior Section do?

A young woman may belong to the Senior Section from her 14th to her 26th birthday. Unlike other sections of Girlguiding UK, there are lots of ways that you can be a member of this section.

What do Leaders do?

Adult Leaders work directly with girls and young women to run Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or Senior Section units. The adult Leader will take Girlguiding UK's Leadership Qualification.

Members with disabilities

If a girl is able to understand the Promise - this does not mean that she has to be able to say it - then she can become a member of Girlguiding UK.
