The map below shows how Girlguiding Wiltshire North is organised in eight divisions. Those divisions in turn are organised in districts. To email a division commissioner (the lead volunteer for that area), simply click on the appropriate division name and an email will preload with the email address inserted ready for you.

We have a team of volunteers who support our County and make the adventure possible for our members.

Besides becoming a leader, there are many other flexible volunteer opportunities within guiding.  Some support roles are home-based which means they fit well around work, family and other commitments too.  Volunteers have the flexibility and freedom to give whatever time they have available.

We would particularly welcome volunteers with skills in the following areas at the moment:

• Property management
• Property maintenance
• PR and marketing
• Recruitment
• Project management
• Administration

If you would like to volunteer with one of our units, there are several options open to you:

Unit leaders and assistant leaders

Every Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Ranger unit has at least one leader, who has completed the Girlguiding Leadership Qualification. Leaders have overall responsibility for the unit, although this is often shared between a team. Leaders and assistant leaders work with the girls to plan activities and to ensure that finances and records are kept up to date.

Unit helpers and occasional helpers

Helpers are vital in enabling the unit to keep running. They help out either on a rota system, or just whenever they can, providing the leaders with an extra pair of hands.

Rainbows: Our youngest section, for girls aged 5 to 7. The focus is on developing self-confidence, building friendships, learning new things and having fun. Click on the logo for more information.

Brownies: For girls aged 7 to 10, Brownies is an adventure based around the three programme areas of ‘You, Community and World’. Amongst other things, Brownies build on their teamwork skills, challenge themselves with special interest badges and explore the outdoors. Click on the logo for more information.

Guides: Girls aged 10 to 14 take a large part in planning their own programme of activities which can range from community action projects to performing arts and adventure sports. Click on the logo for more information.

Rangers: Our eldest youth section is for young women aged 14 to 18. Personal development is at the heart of the Ranger programme; opportunities include volunteering, international travel, trying new things and developing skills. Click on the logo for more information.

Trefoil Guild: For women and men aged 18+, Trefoil Guild is a branch of Girlguiding whose members support the guiding ethos. Some get involved with the youth sections, whilst others enjoy taking on new personal challenges and socialising with like-minded people. Click on the logo for more information.

Trefoil Guild – guiding for adults!

Joining a Trefoil Guild allows you to make new friends, take part in a wide range of activities from geocaching to international travel and be part of the guiding family without taking up a volunteering role.

The aims and objectives of the Trefoil Guild are:
• To keep alive among members the spirit of the Guide and Scout Promises and Laws
• To carry that spirit into the communities in which members live and work
• To give practical, financial and moral support to Guiding and Scouting

There are around 130 members of Trefoil Guild in Wiltshire North. Most Guilds meet monthly, whether that is evening, daytime or weekends. We also have the ‘Lones’ whose members keep in touch by regular postal or email newsletter and occasional meetings.

Activities vary from Guild to Guild, dependent on the membership. Programmes have included crazy golf, craft, international travel, cream teas, croquet, visits and talks. It seems that food and drink is the common denominator, central to each Guild’s programme!

The various Guilds get together as a County on a regular basis, whether that’s for an international day, an afternoon at the County campsite or a scrapheap challenge day.

If you are interested in finding friendship, giving support, getting involved and getting active there is a Guild near you which would love to hear from you:
