The day offers an opportunity to increase your confidence, develop new skills and share different ideas and tips for running a successful unit! This is excellent training for new guiders as well as very experienced guiders particularly if you are introducing the new programme into your unit this term and would like to share your experiences and gain other guiders feedback as what works well for one unit may need tweaking for another unit. You will also walk away from the day with plenty of laughs and that’s what being part of Girlguiding is about…having fun!
