From: Carin Pratt, International adviser
As we head to the time of year when we reflect on the year we have lived and make plans for the year ahead, I thought I would ask if there are any leaders who would like a fresh new challenge by leading a county international trip in 2027. If you have dreamed of travelling with Girlguiding and have already planned your ideal location in your mind, please contact me. If you have no idea where you would like to travel, but would still like to offer a life changing opportunity to our inspirational young people, please contact me.

If you have a skill, your county could use – don’t sit back and wait to be asked, be proactive and volunteer.

PR & comms – we all want improved comms, but we need people to help to achieve it. Updates to websites and newsletters, suggestions for social media

GGN Awards committee

If you feel that someone should be given an award for the exceptional work they undertake, outside of the role they hold, make sure you nominate them.
