Guiding worldwide
As part of a worldwide movement Girlguiding allows its members to connect with sister Guides around the world. The Girlguiding Derbyshire International team wants to offer all its members the chance to experience the many and varied cultures, opinions and viewpoints from around the globe. Whether this is through activities and challenges in the unit, to meeting and hosting international friends at Peak 2015, or taking part in international camps or service projects around the world.
Brownies, Guides and Ranger members can travel abroad with Girlguiding. A variety of international visits take place each year, some organised by Units, Districts or Divisions, some by Counties and some organised at Region level.
Previous trips run by Girlguiding Derbyshire include volunteering trips to Mexico and Vietnam, interrailing to 6 destinations from Brussels to Budapest, Guide and Ranger trips to Our Chalet, Switzerland, and a team who took part in the Midlands Rome to Home interrailing adventure.
Look out for our adventures in 2027 where we have a group travelling to Japan, an interrailing group taking part in the Midlands Ride and Seek trip, and a cycling adventure to the Netherlands, joint with Derbyshire Scouts.
We also run adventures for our adult members, visiting Nuestra Cabana World Centre in 2025, and we are planning a trip to Sangam, India in 2028.
