Welcome to our website!

Whether you are a member of Girlguiding or an interested guest, we hope you will enjoy finding out about us – we have our newsletters, reports and galleries which we hope, will give you a taste of what we do!

Our Mission, as part of a worldwide organisation, enables girls and young women to fulfil their potential and to take an active and responsible role in society through our distinctive, stimulating and enjoyable programme of activities delivered by trained volunteer leaders. Girlguiding promotes inclusion, equality and diversity. We are proud of our 'girl only' space and the experiences and opportunities we offer.

Kent East is a large County which consists of busy towns and rural areas. Our boundary is over 250 miles long including a lot of coastline. The County is divided into 16 divisions and you can find out more by looking at the Division map.

We have over 7000 members and of these, over 1000 are volunteer leaders. The leaders run units that offer varied programmes for all age groups, from the smallest Rainbow to the young adult and there are additional opportunities for adult members. Fun and friendship is integral to all units! Girlguiding offers flexible volunteer opportunities, from occasional helpers, leaders and more specialist leadership roles. We are also open to offers of help from people with specialist skills. To find out more, click the Join us button.

We hope you enjoy browsing our Website.
