Flying the nest
For girls aged 10+, it’s time to move onto Guides and Rangers.
There are 3 Guide units and 1 Rangers unit available in Girlguiding Herne Bay division. Active members of Guides and Rangers can also volunteer at Rainbows and Brownies, allowing older girls to join us in a new role. So, whilst her Oystercatchers journey as a Rainbow and Brownie has come to an end, the adventure continues.
Guides is a relaxed, welcoming space where you can have fun, learn and be yourself with good friends from 10 to 14 years old.
We are all part of Girlguiding Herne Bay division. You can register for any unit by visiting the Girlguiding web site.
Guides can volunteer as Rainbow and Brownie helpers.
If you’re an active Guide that would like to help at 1st Hampton Rainbows, 1st Greenhill Rainbows, or 1st Hampton Brownies, we’d love to have you!
Rangers is your space – where you get together with other girls from 14 to 18 to have fun, learn more, give back, hang out, and just be you.
We are all part of Girlguiding Herne Bay division. You can register for any unit by visiting the Girlguiding web site.
At 14 it’s possible to volunteer as a Young Leader. This is opportunity is available to young women even if they do not attend Rangers.
Register to volunteer on the Girlguiding website, or contact us for 1st Hampton or 1st Greenhill Rainbows, or 1st Hampton Brownies.
The world really can be your oyster and our emblem represents that alongside the history of the Hampton-on-Sea village and the oystercatchers that visit our local beaches.
In the hands of an oyster fishery company, Hampton-on-Sea, grew from a tiny fishing hamlet dating back to 1864. Hampton’s history actually goes back further. The name means “home farm” and offshore there are remains of prehistoric and Roman activity.
Unfortunately Hampton-on-Sea has been lost to coastal erosion and today all that remains is a shortened (and rebuilt) Hampton Pier and the Hampton Inn. The landward oyster pond is now a playground. Hampton has retreated and expanded up the hill to become part of Herne Bay.
We Love Sharing
Through our social media and our blog we keep you updated on the activities we do. For unit leaders and volunteers we also provide an increasing library of printable downloads and tools in our Resources section. These originate from materials created for our own unit meeting activities.
Plus we create fun challenge badges. Unit leaders can download the packs and plan the activities into their meetings.
