Quick answer
What does 242nd Guide Unit do?
We are the only guide unit in our area of Glasgow, taking in the G13, G14 and G15 postcodes. We tell them that girls can do anything. We help them know that, whether they have a disability or lack confidence, we try to provide as many different activities and adventures. This can be at the weekly meeting place or helping a local charity at Christmas as well as residential events both at home and abroad. Our promise links us to other Girlguiding members by taking part in events such as attending badge sessions, circus skills, STEM events and coming together for our Thinking Day event each year…

Why is there no Clarity Score for 242nd Guide Unit yet?

The register facts and available annual-return disclosures above remain useful. Payment never influences a rating. How scoring works
