A world of personal skills development, travel, fun and friendship : Any young woman aged 14 years old or over can join in the Look Wider programme. You don't have to have been involved in Guiding before, but you do need to be keen on achieving things, action, adventure and fun!
To participate in Look Wider is to be what you want to be, working with your peers or on your own to achieve personal goals and explore interests special to you. There's a vast choice of different opportunities you can follow to achieve your aims, plus lots of support. |
You can take part in challenging outdoor and environmental projects, sports and activities, or join in community development at home and abroad - hard work but immensely rewarding.
You can also choose to develop your leadership skills with a programme that is flexible yet challenging and fun. You can take part in a GOLD project (Guiding Overseas Linked with Development) or be part of the leadership team of a local Rainbow, Brownie or Guide unit, helping organise activites, accompanying them on trips or to camp, and finding ways for them to help out in the community and meet all sorts of challenges.
Whatever you choose to do, you'll certainly have fun. You'll also learn about teamwork, organisation and effective communications, come to understand what citizenship really means, and acquire the confidence to take on any challenge - all invaluable additions to your CV and qualities much prized by any future employer.
