Were you a member of the Girl Guide Association in your youth? If so, come and reminisce at the various memorabilia and collectables of the past as GirlGuiding UK celebrates its one hundred year anniversary. 

Girls from the age of five have followed a progressive path from Rainbows and Brownies, then onto Guides and Senior groups. Each section continues to provide skills and experience for young women across the British Isles and British overseas territories.
