Girlguiding Ulster

Services

Girlguiding has a proven record in maximising the life chances of girls and young women. Much of this success can be attributed to guiding’s distinctive educational approach and ethos. Five key features provide the basis for this approach:

1. Working together in small groups - gives girls a sense of identity and belonging. Girls learn about team work, relationships and leadership, they share experiences and take responsibility.
2. Decision-making as individuals and groups – enables girls to have ownership of their programmes and to play a full and active part in decision-making throughout Girlguiding UK.
3. A balance and varied programme which is girl-led – girls are encouraged to learn-by-doing and acquire skills for life. Guiding enables girls to meet challenges and actively contribute to society.
4. Guides care for the individual and their fulfilment – learning how to listen and be sensitive to the needs and wants of others is an integral part of learning about relationships. The small group structure also helps to create an emotionally safe and supportive environment for individual development to take place.
5. A shared commitment to a common standard – the Promise and the Law are central to our programme and express a collective commitment to the values of guiding and emphasise active citizenship and spiritual development. Active citizenship encourages girls and young women to take positive action in response to needs they identify in their own community and in the wider world.
