Welcome to our flexible guiding resource bank

Flexible guiding is:

Doing things differently to meet the needs of our current adults and young members
Being flexible on venues, meeting times and frequencies, the roles we offer and how we run our leadership teams
Breaking down barriers which prevent members from joining and/or getting the best out of guiding

Financial barriers?

See what funding is currently available from Girlguiding Scotland and Girlguiding or contact Scottish Headquarters for further advice.
