• PRA's: Public Relations Advisers support guiding on a local level (at Division and/or District), arranging photo opportunities with local press and radio, encourage local guiders to publicise their events, and to publicise CHQ (Commonwealth Headquarters') events and initiatives.
• Admin: Maybe you could be a treasurer, administrator or secretary for your local unit/district/division?
• Commissioner: Got a flair for people management? Would like to support other adults in providing a great guiding experience? Want experience of managing a team?

12 Hour Challenge

Did you know that you spend on average 2,592 hours asleep each year? You also spend 1,139 hours surfing the net, 895 hours watching TV and 1,092 hours doing the housework if you’re a woman or 510 hours doing the housework if you’re a man!

Can you spare 12 hours (or more) of your time to do something for girls this year? If so, you can take part in our 12 Hour Challenge.

There is no set agenda for the challenge so you have complete control over how you spend the 12 hours. You could do anything from helping a group of Brownies towards getting their Gardener badge to assisting a unit redecorate their premises. If you love cooking, why not share your skills with a group of Guides on camp or if you’re a whizz with numbers help out with a unit’s accounts?

Please call 0800 169 590 1 for more information or to register your interest.
