  • Who Should I speak to if I have a problem?

If you have any volunteering issues, other Senior Section members, Leaders and supporters may be helpful. If the problem is about your group it may be best to speak to someone outside it, like a Commissioner or an Adviser. If you need to speak to a Commissioner, approach your District Commissioner first. The Guiding Manual is also packed with information on activities and regulations.

  • If I can’t commit to weekly meetings can I still be involved in guiding?

There may be times when you are a Young Leader that you think that you're just so busy with school work / exams, keeping up with your hobbies and social life, holding down your Saturday job, and being a Young Leader at Rainbows / Brownies / Guides, that something will have to go.
You do not have to go to Rainbows / Brownies / Guides every week. Work with the unit Guider and arrange what weeks you can and cannot make the unit meeting. Unit Guiders must not depend on you, you do not count as an adult leader for insurance purposes in the eyes of the Guide Association. Unit Guiders should be understanding and flexible to your needs too.
