Guiding for adults

Membership is open to anyone aged 18 years plus who has been a member of Girlguiding or the Scout Association or who makes the Guide or Scout promise. This means both men and women are welcomed in the organisation. While all Guilds have a common purpose, each Guild delivers a flexible programme to suit the needs and interests of its members.
