Girlguiding Ulster

Girlguiding Ulster's vision is to live in an equal world where all girls can make a positive difference, be happy, safe and fulfil their potential. The aim of guiding is to help girls and young women to develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so that they can make a positive contribution to their community and the wider world. Girlguiding Ulster has 12,000 members throughout Northern Ireland and is currently growing its membership in may areas where guiding has not existed before. Girlguiding provides a programme of challenging and enjoyable activities, delivered by trained volunteers, out of school hours and during holidays.Our programmes promote the personal and social development of girls and young women. Girlguiding Ulster offers young people a wide range of activities and opportunities, including creative arts, sports and outdoor education. Residential experiences provide a challenging learning environment beyond familiar surroundings. Trips and exchanges offer opportunities for young people to increase their understanding and awareness of our world, its people and cultures. Girls and young women also take part in programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Queens Guide Award.
