We help all girls know they can do anything

Congratulations to County President, Margaret Maltby MBE

We have so much going on for girls aged 4 to 18 in Somerset. Get outdoors on our sailing dinghy Somerspirit, and take part in residentials supported by our Somermead grant fund. Enjoy a peer education session and international opportunities.

Volunteers can find support with inclusion, learning, finance, or make contact with our team or local shops. Aged 18 to 30? Find out about Inspire community. Adults of all ages are welcomed by our Trefoil Guild.

Looking for an adventurous activity, close to home? We’ve got it covered! Better still, it’s more affordable than you expect.

Our shop is helping our goals of reusing and recycling, as well as making guiding more affordable and accessible in Somerset
