International Guiding today

The Guide International Service played an important role in the development of international guiding.

Girlguiding today  offers members a huge range of amazing international adventures. 

Girls and volunteers can go abroad with their local unit, join an international social action project or represent girls at a global seminar. There are opportunities big, small and suitable for all ages – including lots of life-changing opportunities for volunteers.

Many members of Girlguiding Norfolk have had amazing and life changing experiences going on international adventures. Our archivist, Helen Green, asked some of them to video their stories.
