So who are we?

Girlguiding Kidlington is one of 3 Districts (including North & West Oxford) that make Girlguiding Oxford City II Division.
Girlguiding Oxford City II Division is one of 11 Divisions in Oxfordshire. 
Oxfordshire is one of 12 Guiding Counties in the Anglia Region ..... and Anglia is one of 6 Regions in England.

Girlguiding Kidlington is vibrant and fun for all ages, from our smallest Rainbow Guide to our oldest Trefoil member, there is something for everyone.

We are part of the UK's largest voluntary organisation for women, in turn part of an international organisation with over 10 MILLION members worldwide.

Without Leaders we would not be able to offer all the wonderful opportunities we do.  Leaders are unpaid, trained volunteers who give their free time to run units.  

Girls aged between 5 & 7 can join Rainbows. Rainbows take part in games and activities as part of the #Every Girl Programme Stages 1 & 2. They can work for Interest Badges and  may gain a Rainbow Gold Award. Occasionally Rainbows are lucky enough to take part in Rainbow overnights. This gives them the opportunity to experience being away from home in a safe and secure environment. They have a practical uniform consisting of red jogging bottoms, polo shirt & hoodie

IN KIDLINGTON WE HAVE 2 RAINBOW UNITS MEETING SATURDAY & SUNDAY

Girls aged between 7 & 10 can be Brownies. Brownies work in smaller groups called Sixes.  As well as taking part in games and activities Brownies participate in the #Every Girl Programme at Stages 2 & 3. They can work for Interest Badges and  may gain the Brownie Gold Award. This prepares them for moving up to Guides when they turn 10. Brownies are able to work towards a number of badges and also to take part in Brownie Holidays. Brownies also have a practical uniform consisting of a range of brown & yellow coloured shorts, trousers,tops & hoodie

IN KIDLINGTON WE HAVE 3 GUIDE UNITS MEETING MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY.

Rangers is for girls and young women aged between 14 to 19, although we have a Social Affiliation Scheme for those over 19. Many members also help with the younger Sections as Young Leaders and also participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. They also work on the #Every Girl Programme, but for them it's Stages 5 & 6. They can also work for Interest Badges and may gain the Ranger Gold Award. Rangers also camp, sleepover & go abroad (the photo below shows a Horizon August 2018 Promise Ceremony at the Colloseum in Rome). They also get the chance of an "International opportunity", this may be with a County Group, or after a Selection process they may represent Girlguiding at an event overseas. Financial help is available for these trips.

IN KIDLINGTON WE HAVE 1 RANGER UNIT (Horizon Rangers) MEETING FRIDAY EVENING  www.horizonrangers.org.uk

The Trefoil Guild is an organisation which is made up of adults aged 18 upwards who have had connections with either Guiding or Scouting, but are unable to make a regular commitment. Members often support Distict events and Units, whilst some participate in the Voyage Award Scheme. Guilds aim to keep alive among members the spirit of the Guide and Scout Promises and Laws, carry that spirit into the communities in which members live & work and to give practical, financial and moral support to Guiding and Scouting.
