Welcome to our learning and development page for Girlguiding Somerset volunteers. The learning and development team coordinate a range of different training events – including short evening sessions; day sessions; and residential training weekends on behalf of the County. We have a small team of Girlguiding qualified trainers here in Somerset; but we are delighted to invite other trainers and facilitators from Girlguiding and beyond to help deliver the sessions.
If you have a learning and development question, or if you have a suggestion for future sessions, please contact us using the form at the bottom of the page.
Upcoming Training Events
Would you like to give the girls in your unit the chance to experience a residential event through Girlguiding, but you’re not sure what the options are and what qualifications you might need?
This session is designed as an introduction to residential events within Girlguiding.
During the session you’ll find out about the different residential experiences that are possible – and what qualifications (if any) that you’ll need to work towards to enable your unit to participate in them.
We will (hopefully) enthuse you to participate in a residential event; and help you put together a plan for your next steps. We will also provide plenty of opportunities to ask questions and share thoughts and concerns.
This session will be delivered live in a virtual classroom. Once you have registered, we will send you through the log in details to enable you to participate. You can join the session via a computer, tablet or smart phone device. You will need speakers but you will not need a microphone.
