Taunton Division Girlguiding Report 2025
Girlguiding in Taunton seems to have slowly been on the increase in terms of young members in the last couple of years, with several units now full and operating a waiting list. This reflects the ongoing dedication of all our volunteers, as without them units would not exist, we of course always would like more volunteers to help and support our existing leaders.
Activities for all our young people encourage them to grow and flourish in a fun and safe environment. With girls nationally who took part in the Guiding Survey stating they feel safe in a girl only space, and that that Girlguiding helps them find a voice and achieve things they We are proud to be part of the largest girl only young organisation with strong values and that through fun, friendship, challenge and adventure we empower girls to find their voice, inspiring them to discover the best in themselves and to make a positive difference in their community.
We held an all Division Event to celebrate Thinking Day in February 2025, a great opportunity for all sections to take part together. A day of fun activities and a great opportunity for girls to see the older sections in action and what will come next on their Guiding journey. As usual in April we had Taunton Gang Show providing a fast and furious show at Tacchi Morris Centre over four days, a continued partnership with Girlguiding and Scouting, well done to everyone involved. Also the annual joint St George's Day Parade with Guiding and Scouting in Taunton as a spectacular parade through the town culminating with a short celebration to renew our promises in Wilton Lands at Vivary Park, a great event showing we are well and truly active in Taunton. We were pleased again to be present at Taunton Flower Show, helping with some activities for children. Also we helped at the Maidenbrook Park Family day in July and we were pleased to have a stand at Taunton Together in September to promote what our organisation has to offer.
As always, I really want to thank all our leaders for the time and commitment they give. In particular special thanks to my fellow Commissioners and members of the division exec, whose support I greatly value, I could not do it without you all.
Sandra Verrier Taunton Division Commissioner
