Be an inspiring role model to girls and young women - and have a lot of fun in the process. As unit leader, you'll run the unit, lead a team of volunteers, and plan and deliver a programme of awesome activities. If you'd like to become a leader, you'll be supported to complete our Leadership qualification. You'll have training on everything from planning your programme to child safety.

If you're enthusiastic about giving girls opportunities for fun, friendship, challenge and adventure then you'll make a perfect unit helper. You'll provide valuable support to the unit leadership team. And you'll be key in providing the extra help needed to make unit meetings and events happen. Plus, you'll get to know the girls and other volunteers, and be part of the Girlguiding community.

Unit Administration (finance) - As a unit administrator you'll help a unit run from behind the scenes. This role can cover many different activities, and there's a huge opportunity to make it your own.

District Commissioner- In this role, you'll be responsible for and accountable to the whole membership of your district, and for ensuring the delivery of quality guiding.

Groups are:- Rainbows 5-7 years, Brownies 7-10 years or Guides 10-14 years

We currently are in great need of additional adult helpers at the weekly meetings of a few specific groups:

• 6th Newbury Brownies - Wednesdays from 6:15pm to 7:30pm at St. Josephs RC Primary School, Newport Road, Newbury, RG14 2AW
• 4th Newbury Guides - Tuesday from 6:30pm to 8pm at  St Joseph's Catholic Church Hall, 105 London Road, RG14 1JP
• 2nd Newbury Rainbows - Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00pm at St Nicholas Church Hall, West Mills, Newbury, RG14 5HG
• 8th Newbury Brownies - Thursdays 6:00 to 7:30pm at  St Richard Rooms, St. Johns Church, St. Johns Road, Newbury, RG14 7PY

We'd also love to start up another new Brownie unit with a new team of leaders and helpers.

Volunteers are required during term-time only. Groups meet at St Joseph's School, St Nicolas Church and St. John's Church, St Joseph's Catholic Church Hall.

What skills do I need?

Enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved, whatever your skills and interests, and no matter how much time you have to give. A full leadership training scheme is in operation for those wishing to be warranted leaders.
