Kings Lynn division

King’s Lynn division is in west Norfolk

Once one of England’s most famous ports and originally known as Bishop’s Lynn, we are in an area with a wealth of history. Close to Lincolnshire and Cambridge, with connections to Girlguiding in those counties too! Famous for The Wash and close to the Fens – we give our units an amazing variety of experiences.

Starting at 4 years old, our Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers are aware that we help girls know that they can do anything. We give girls a space to belong and have fun. We show them leadership skills and listen to them – the latest research has resulted in 72 new interest badges and the many took part in the consultation over the uniform redesign due in 2026. Every year we hold a Girls Attitude Survey, to understand the problems they face in today’s world – and what we can do to help them.

Like many voluntary organisations we are always keen to encourage more volunteers. Volunteering with us isn’t just about campfires and helping girls to get their next badge – although those are special moments. It’s about empowering girls and giving them new experiences. It’s helping girls realise their own potential, sharing and developing your skills, all while having the time of your life.

We enjoy holding division events to get together with our guiding friends. An afternoon tea was recently held where sandwiches, scones, delicious cakes and of course endless cups of tea were served to deserving leaders. All volunteers were given a thank you gift of a candle with the Girlguiding logo on and a thank you message.
