Girlguiding Somerset is part of the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK and we empower them to do their best and face the challenges of growing up today. Girlguiding Somerset has more than 3,000 members from Rainbows (aged 5-7), Brownies (aged 7-10), Guides (aged 10-14), The Senior Section (aged 14-25) and of course our adult Volunteers.

Each section has its own programme and activities designed especially for that age group.  The programme helps the girls to be challenged by new adventures and experiences, to develop self-awareness, self-respect and self-confidence, to make friends and have fun, to learn to work with others and appreciate the world around them.

We are proud to make a positive impact on the lives of girls and young women across the County.
