Norfolk is a beautiful county that can offer Girlguiding members a variety of residential and camping opportunities in settings that may be beside the sea, surrounded by fields, an activity centre with lots of outdoor pursuits or a quiet village hall that offers girls the opportunity for their first sleep over.
Girlguiding supports leaders to be able to take girls away through the Going Away With Scheme. Leaders require a qualification to take girls away and the permission of their local Commissioner.
Email goingaway@girlguidingnorfolk.org.uk for more about the qualification.
