Would you like to go on fun adventures, explore and laugh with friends?
At Girlguiding we do everything from camping to campaigning! We’re all about girls and young women laughing, learning and having adventures. Why not join the fun?
Meetings usually run on weekday evenings for about an hour, and you can choose how much or how little you can help out! Our different sections cover ages 4-18, so there’s something for everyone.
Youth volunteering with Girlguiding Scotland looks great on a CV, and can improve skills like teamwork, leadership, communication, creativity and IT. It’s great experience if you want a career in youthwork or education. You can get extra training like First Aid, the disclosure check for working with children is paid for by us and we’ll help you every step of the way. There are loads of meetings happening all over South Lanarkshire, so you can join one close to you.
Our volunteers are what makes Girlguiding amazing, and we welcome people of all backgrounds and walks of life. Come have a chat with us, you won’t regret it!

When a girl becomes a Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or member of the Senior Section she joins a group of girls her own age and will be led by our carefully trained and dedicated volunteers. Whatever inspires her, whatever her passions and interests, we offer her the chance to develop her potential, make friends and have fun.
Our volunteers do amazing things - some of which might surprise you. They go white water rafting, train leaders overseas, celebrate LGBT inclusion in their local Pride parade and sing along with 10,000 girls at Wembley Arena. We currently have opportunities for adult volunteers throughout Midlothian . There are 12 units in the Dalkeith area and many girls wanting to join. Units normally meet for up to 2 hours, one night per week. We have units meeting each night of the week and would like more adults to come along and help with our units so that more girls wills be given the opportunity to join .
Rainbows are aged 5-7, Brownies 7-10, Guides 10-14, Senior Section 14-26.
