If it wasn't for guiding, I never would have...: An unofficial guide to Girlguiding

by Rebecca Craven

Since 1909 when a group of girls visited a Scout rally, asking for “Something for the girls”, Girlguiding has been a huge part to many women’s lives. Over half the women in the UK have been involved in the movement at some stage, and Girlguiding and Girlscouting is worldwide; over 145 countries now have their own units. This unofficial book highlights the greatness of guiding for members and non-members alike to celebrate our achievements and look at what is still to come. It includes all the cool things you can do as a Senior Section member – the awards and qualifications you can work towards, the opportunities you will be given such as trips abroad, day trips, and camping; some of our history, stories of how units have formed and adapted, quotes from current members, and more. This book is a tool to inform and amuse, a good read for non-members looking to join, or for Senior Section girls to leading ladies and beyond. "If it wasn't for guiding, I never would have..." should be on every female's bookshelf.
