INTernational OPportunitieS
We're part of a truly global movement so Girlguiding can offer its members a huge range of amazing international adventures.
Girls and volunteers can trek abroad with their local unit, join a social action project in a developing country or represent girls at an international seminar.
We have opportunities big, small and suitable for all ages - including lots of life-changing opportunities for volunteers.
Get exploring the world with guiding!
