Girlguiding is the operating name of The Guide Association and is the national guiding organisation of the United Kingdom. It is the UK's largest girl-only youth organisation. Guiding began in the UK in 1910, when Robert Baden-Powell, founder of The Boy Scouts Association, established a separate organisation for girls.
Within Girlguiding, participants take on adventurous activities, such as climbing, canoeing, sailing and orienteering and have the opportunity to get involved in camps and international events, including girl-only festivals and overseas development projects. In local groups – called 'units' – girls complete badges and challenges that cover topics from circus skills, stargazing and scientific investigation, to first aid, camping and community action.
