About Guides

In Guiding, girls work with a group of friends, small enough to feel they belong and big enough to be a team that can make things happen!  It's a friendly, safe, girl only environment in which to try out new ideas and experience new challenges.  It's all about being a girl in today's world

Me in Mind  is a brand new resource for Guides and Senior Section members.  Me in Mind is all about dreams and goals, healthy living, relationships, help and support, and most importantly, having a laugh!

It's a vibrant resource with loads of activities to get everyone thinking about mental health in a new, positive way, whether in a group or on your own.  It has been approved by Changing the World partner, the Mental Health Foundation and there is an accompanying badge, which can be worn in both sections.

Me in Mind is designed to give Leaders the confidence to approach the subject of mental health, not just on the problems, but how to stay emotionally healthy.  Older Guides and Senior Section members will be challenged to think about their lifestyle and what they can do for themselves and  others to promote mental health.  It is also a great opportunity to promote links between Guides and Senior Section - the badge could be started in Guides and completed in Senior Section, or groups of Guides and Senior Section could join together on activities.  It is a set of 40 activity cards, presented in a durable envelope so the cards can be used again and again!

The pack is available from http://girlguidingukshop.co.uk  at £6 (code 6033)
