Our local Units continue to offer our members a wide and varied weekly
experience, developed within the Girlgu7ding Programme as well as additional
events such as re5ident7als/campslsleepovers. Members continue to undertake
trainings to ensure they are compliant with Girlguidlng standards (first

unexpected loss for County events.
