Leaders/Unit Helpers


We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers who’d like to help Rainbows, Brownies, and Guides across Edinburgh have fun and learn. If you’re interested in volunteering with a unit, find out more on our Volunteer With Us page.

Girls take what they do in guiding with them as they grow up. Everything from working in a team, to taking the lead, to speaking out on issues they care about. It helps them develop the skills and confidence to become the young women they want to be. ’
