Welcome to Girlguiding Cumbria South

The countdown to the guiding centenary has begun!

Girlguiding UK celebrates 100 years of Guiding from 5 September 2009 to 20 October 2010.

Why the 5 September?

This was the date in 1909 when a small band of girls gate-crashed the Scout rally at Crystal Palace and asked for 'Something for the girls'.

Lord Baden-Powell created the Guides and the rest is history!

From those humble beginnings, today guiding in the UK boasts over 580,000 members!

On the weekend of the 5/6 September 2009, members all around the UK will celebrate the start of the Centenary with a launch party, and here in Cumbria South we're really going to town with our launch party - our very own gig - CUMBAGIG!

Come and join thousands of Girlguiding Cumbria South members past and present celebrate what will be the start of an amazing year!
