About Girl Guides UK

Girlguiding helps girls build confidence, friendships and practical skills through fun activities and shared values. This Specialist section supports learning beyond the classroom by turning Guiding knowledge into quick quizzes that are easy to use at home, in meetings or in school enrichment time.

Learners can explore Guiding traditions and what it means to belong through Girl Guides – Promise and Law, build wider understanding with World Cultures and Customs, and check section knowledge with the Brownies Overview and Rainbow Overview quizzes. Each quiz is short, clear and includes feedback so learners can improve as they go.

Parents and leaders can use these quizzes as a gentle knowledge check before badge work, as a starter for discussion about values, or as a confidence boost between meetings. Regular, bite-sized practice helps learners remember key facts and apply what they know in real situations, like teamwork, communication and community service.

For official UK curriculum guidance that links to personal development, relationships, citizenship and wider learning, see GOV.UK: National curriculum in England.
