Get to Know Us

Shepherdswell Guides are groups of girls aged between 10 and 14 who meet from 6pm to 8pm on a Monday each week in the village of Shepherdswell. We take part in a range of activities and events which includes working on our own in Patrols, joining with the Explorers & Scouts and going on holidays. We plan our own meetings, decide which badges we would like to work towards, which activities we would like to do and how we can help our wider community.

Night Hikes & Water Sports

Usually we complete one night hike a year - We catch the train to Bekesbourne in the evening and hike back arriving around midnight. We then sleepover in the hut. We have also taken part in a watersports weekend at Bewl Water & learnt kayaking with Canoe Wild at Grove Ferry.

Trips

We usually attend an annual concert in London at Wembley Arena called "Big Gig" and normally take part in Division Iceskating and other events such as 24hr camps organised by our region LASER.

Fundraising

We usually organise 2 door to door cakes sales in our village in March & October to help with our fundraising. We have also completed a sponsored sleep out to raise money for Porchlight and had a stall at our local fete to raise money for Kent Search & Rescue.
