Wow that's a lot! I'm thinking Chief's Guide because there's no time limit :biggrin:

I've done bits and pieces that should count for it but need to find someone in my area to sit and go through it with, and see what they say

you will have done alot of the chiefs guide stuff without even thinking about it, i did it so easily :smile:

It looks like there is so much to it! :eek:

Hi, I'm a young leader at a brownie pack, and I'm going into my third year of it. However, I don't have a young leader qualification? None of the other young leaders in my pack did, and the leaders haven't told me about it. do I need it? Is it easy to do bearing in mind I'm going into year 13? Cheers :biggrin:

your mentor will go through it with you, and its not a test of how well you do things, as i bet you do it all already!
i found it really easy, i started doing it at 16 and had finished by 17 so had to wait a year till i actually got the qualification!
my mum happened to be my mentory, but that meant she was harsher on me than most, BECAUSE she was my mum, but its really not as hard as it looks!

i never did the YLQ, i did the ALQ straight away, and as your going into year 13 id suggested going straight on to that, as at 18 your old enough to be a proper leader :smile:

Me!!!

It's good, I've run a few sessions, I did it back when it was 4 but if you get the chance it's a good weekend even if you don't use it after. I mainly just use some of the activities in meetings rather than running whole sessions though

Hope you don't mind me butting in on this thread, i've been interested in volunteering with a rainbows or brownies group in my local area but i'm a bit confused as to how it all works, do you just phone up and then go along? Do you have to do these leader qualifications to help out?

Also, what sort of time commitment is involved? I'm going into my third year at uni and also have a part-time job and other volunteering commitments so wondering whether it's doable or not!

Thanks :smile:

You dont have to do any leadership quals to help out, you just need a CRB which girlguiding pay for i think. You choose how involved you become. You can literally turn up to weekly meetings and thats all or you can plan meetings and do things every weekend with them. Its your choice :smile:

If you know the local leaders number you can phone them or you can email the commisioner and theyl get you in touch :smile:

I might have part of a first aid course on the same weekend, but I'll be able to catch up on the stuff covered in it later. Trying to decide which one to pick. :colondollar:

Just been in bits at guides, hit me that for the first time in 8 years I won't be there next week. Been with the same leaders since I was 6, they know me so well, my last night was fire, uniform is now delightfully smoky - got a place on the Christmas trip though. I will get myself there somehow!! Had a brownie come up to me at the end and tell me that they didn't want me to go too :smile:

gonna miss my girls so much!!! Got a new set of names or three to learn in London though :smile:

Good luck to you all- the Guide and Scout movements are a wonderful opportunity for children to learn skills and have fun, and need people like you otherwise they could not happen.
