Welcome to Girlguiding Kidlington in 2018

This site will keep you informed of what's available at Girlguiding Kidlington, our Rainbow, Brownie, Guide, Ranger and Trefoil Guild news. It will keep you up to date with the Rebuilding Appeal, Fundraising and other events, give you details of our 100 Club Winners and provide you with all the other information you might need to support us.

NEWS: We're about to re-open 4th Kidlington Brownie Pack, once again giving us 5 Brownie Units in the Village. They're meeting Sunday afternoons so if you're interested in your daughter joining us, let us know as they're filling up fast.

We're all presently meeting at our temporary venue behind Exeter Hall, while our rebuild is underway. Unit Leaders should have let you all know what is happening. If you are unsure and can't contact your Leadership Team please use one of the contact numbers on the right. 

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 Rainbow programme called the “Rainbow Jigsaw”. 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 and 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 follow a programme called the “Brownie Adventure” and for the older girls the “Brownies Adventure On” which 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 4 BROWNIE UNITS MEETING MONDAY, TUESDAY early & late, & THURSDAY

We're shortly planning on reopening 4th Kidlington Brownies meeting Sunday afternoons
However we'd appreciate help if you feel you'd like to volunteer.

Girls aged between 10 & 14 can join Guides. Guides also work in small groups called Patrols. They take part in a number of activities and can work towards badges and challenges called “Go for Its!”. Guides can also go on camps and holidays and occasionally go abroad. The uniform is also a practical one which allows the girls to choose from a selection of navy tops & a hoodie with their own “home bottoms”.

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

Rangers are part of The Senior Section (TSS) and is for girls and young women aged between 14 to 26, although very few in our area stay after their eighteenth birthday. Many members also help with the younger Sections as Young Leaders and also participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Their Programme is called Look Wider. It's a personal development programme, a framework rather than a specific syllabus, so it can be adapted to fit the individual. Rangers also camp, sleepover & go abroad, and also get the chance of an "international opportunity", this may be with a County Group, or after a Selection process they are able to represent Girlguiding at an event overseas. Financial help is often available for these opportunities.

IN KIDLINGTON WE HAVE 1 RANGER UNIT (Horizon Rangers) MEETING FRIDADAY 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.
