Are you enthusiastic about giving girls opportunities for fun, friendship, challenge and adventure? If the answer is yes, then Guide unit helper is a great role for you! Whether you want to help with a specific event or attend regularly; you can be involved flexibly in a way that works for you and your local unit.  What is a Guide unit?  

Guides is a relaxed, welcoming space where girls age 10-14 can have fun, learn and be themselves. They meet regularly in groups, called units. These meetings are run by volunteer teams, usually made up of adult leaders, helpers and young leaders who work together to plan and deliver awesome activities for girls. 

 What you’ll be doing as unit helper 

Our units are all quite different, which means all unit helpers do slightly different things. There’s a lot of space to make this role your own. But you'll likely: 

  • Be an extra pair of hands to help make unit meetings happen. 
  • Work with other volunteers to help girls get involved in activities, earn badges and awards – and celebrate when they achieve them!  
  • Together with other volunteers, run fantastic activities that inspire girls, whilst helping to keep everyone safe. 
  • You might get to go on planned sleepovers, events, trips or adventures! 
  • Learn new things, make new friends, and demonstrate our values of caring, challenging, empowering, inclusive, fun and inspiring in all you do. 

What skills do I need?

  • There are no specific skills required - we welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences. Just bring yourself and your enthusiasm! 
  • Friendly, willing to learn and reliable are all qualities of a great unit helper.
