Girlguiding Boughton Vale Division is a mainly rural area extending along the Greensand Way from East Farleigh to Kingswood and Headcorn and includes the southern areas of Maidstone; Shepway, Parkwood and Loose.
There are 17 units in total; 6 Rainbow units with 92 girls; 7 Brownie units with 147 girls; 4 Guide units with 80 girls. Most of the units have a waiting list and we are keen to open more units, and would welcome any adult volunteers to meet this demand.
The units provide a wide range of activities and experiences in the villages and support the local events.
If your daughter wishes to join Girlguiding Kent Weald County, please register her details on our national website and we will be in touch. Likewise if you are an adult or older teenager (aged 14+) wishing to volunteer as a helper, please register on our national website and we will get in contact with you.
We are an active Division attending local, county, regional and international activities. Brownie and Guide units go on residential and camping holidays and Rainbows have sleepovers which ensures all the girls get to experience the full range of Guiding activities. Recently some Guides have been on a trip to Mexico where they did community work and some sightseeing and another unit have just completed a trip to Paris.
Rainbows, Brownies and Guides visited Greenwich for the Region's 'Discover' day and this year we have the Division Rainbow and Brownie Challenges where each unit has a task to complete which is independently judged and a trophy awarded.
Our Guide units take part in the County Challenge Invicta, an approximately 7-mile hike with incidents to be completed along the way. This year the Coxheath team won the challenge cup.
We aim to give the give the girls, whatever their age, a fun and varied programme to enable them to reach their potential and to make new friends and have new experiences.
We would be interested in opening units in the following villages which fall within Girlguiding Boughton Vale Division; Chart Sutton, East Sutton, Langley, Linton, Parkwood, Sutton Valence and Ulcombe. If you would be interested in volunteering in this area, please register on the national website.
