Then why not register to attend a virtual call with the Cambs West and Cambs East International Advisors on either:

Wednesday 14 May 18.00 - 19.30

OR

Saturday 17 May 10.00 - 11.30

All you need to do, is to bring an activity which you can share with other girls during the call.


You will get to meet other Guide/ Young Leader/ Rangers from across both Girlguiding Cambridgeshire West and Girlguiding Cambridgeshire East. You’ll also be able to find out more about the international trips which Girlguiding Cambridgeshire West and Girlguiding Cambridgeshire East will be running jointly in 2026 and potential 2027.


There will also be an opportunity to be put forward for a Girlguiding Anglia Region trip being run in either 2025 or 2026, as Girlguiding Cambridgeshire West and Girlguiding Cambridgeshire East are able to put forward four girls each. If put forward, the girls will need to attend a Girlguiding Anglia Region International Day in October, date is still to be confirmed.

To attend, you will need to complete and return the following to [email protected] by Friday 2 May 2026:

  • Online Guiding and Virtual Unit Meeting Consent Form

  • A letter of recommendation from the girl’s unit leader

  • Completed online Expression of Interest Form

We will not be selecting any girls for trips without the completed expression of interest form or the letter of recommendation.

A virtual call link will be shared with the contact email a week before the call.
