Friends of Guiding Groups can be formed in Counties, Divisions or Districts to help and give support in many ways. Members need not necessarily have been part of Girlguiding UK, and often are parents or even grandparents of past and present members. They can help with such activities as fund raising, badge work and testing, and special events. Friends groups enjoy helping with the practical parts of Guiding and in raising the profile of Guiding in general. All members of the adult community can be involved and there are many people who are in sympathy with the aims of Guiding and who are willing to give some of their time.
In Lanark, we are very fortunate in having our own Guide Hall but the downside is we are responsible for all of the overheads too. We have some friends of Guiding members already but we are looking for some more members. If you are interested please come along to our meeting on Tuesday 5th October in the Guide Hall. |
