South East Norfolk division
We are a mainly rural area but that doesn’t mean that we are quiet! It’s not unusual for units to have members from many villages – giving them a wide range of friends outside the usual school groups.
We are currently looking for more commissioners, they are the ‘gel’ that holds the districts together! You don’t need to have any previous experience, although it helps if you are willing to learn more about this exciting guiding role. Commissioners help units to provide opportunities for all of the local units, get to know a wide range of like minded adults and above all become part of the community – to benefit others!
Stretching from Wymondham, over the A11, to Loddon on the A140 – we cover a wide area. We are home to the Roman ruins at Caister St Edmunds, meet the Broads at Loddon, meet Girlguiding Suffolk at our southern boarder and Norwich division at our northern boarder. Our districts cover large areas, like Brooke and Loddon, or smaller areas like Wymondham – but each work closely together to provide opportunities for younger members.
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.
