Chief Guides Welcome

Guiding's Centenary is fast approaching!  Its nearly been 100 years since those determined girls marched into Crystal Palace and since then guiding has travelled all the way round the globe, with 10 million members worldwide, it is the biggest organisation for girls and young women in the world. Learn about the history of Girlguiding UK.

Our Centenary is a chance to go all out, push some boundaries, pick up challenges, live a dream and remind ourselves and the wider world what we're really made of.

This website is a dynamic extension of the Ways to Celebrate catalogue you received in your January edition of guiding magazine. The catalogue describes the Centenary events available and this website will help you dive deeper into what each event and project is about including how to get involved. Take a good look through the catalogue and discuss options with your girls or use the events as inspiration for your own celebrations, then hit the website to find out more. Happy planning!

Centenary key messages card

A Centenary version of the key message card is now available to download. The card, which provides modern and historic examples of each perception key message, was included in the March 2009 issue of guiding magazine.

Girlguiding UK members can use the card, with local modern examples of the key messages in action, as a handy tool when talking about the Centenary. Download the Centenary key message card.
