About this opportunity

Would you like to go on fun adventures, explore and laugh with friends?
At Girlguiding they do everything from camping to campaigning! They’re all about girls and young women laughing, learning and having adventures. Why not join the fun?
Their different sections cover ages 4-18, so there’s something for everyone.
As a unit helper you will support leaders to deliver Girlguiding programme activities with the girls during their meetings. This includes supporting a safe girl-only space where girls can discover their full potential, and supporting the delivery of an accessible and inclusive programme as set out by Girlguiding.
Volunteering with Girlguiding Scotland looks great on a CV, and can improve skills like teamwork, leadership, communication, creativity and IT. It’s great experience if you want a career in youthwork or education. You can get extra training like First Aid and they’ll help you every step of the way.
