International opportunities

What international opportunities are available?
See also Noticeboard for breaking news.

There are international opportunities available for all ages both in the UK and abroad. The opportunities range from an international camp in this country to attending a GOLD project (Guiding Overseas Linked with Development) aimed at raising awareness of HIV/AIDS awareness in Honduras and anything in-between - the list is endless and world is your oyster. Experiences can range from one or two weeks to longer term volunteering or gap year opportunities.

For more information about the different opportunities available, please click here.

Please refer to trip reports to see what Staffordshire Girlguiding members have done in the past - we hope you feel inspired to do something yourself after you have read about their amazing experiences.

How do I get selected for County or Region trips?:
Girls:
Every year, Divisions will hold their own selection events that you can choose to attend. Some people will then be chosen to be put forward to the County selection event.

If you fancy a challenge and would like to travel in Guiding, why don't you come along to the next selection weekend? For further information, please contact your Division International Adviser.

Leaders:
We also need leaders to lead and assist with our County trips and to go forward for leaders selection at Region.

If you are interested in being put forward for leader selection for future years, please speak to your Division International Adviser.

Division, District, Unit and individual Trips:
Divisions, Districts, Units and individuals organise and plan their own trips. For useful information and hints and tips, please refer to the information for leaders section of this website . Your Division International Adviser will also be able to help you with any queries that you have and give you advice if you need it.
