Everyone is welcome
Girlguiding Dunbartonshire welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds, ages, cultures, faiths and abilities.
We are flexible and volunteering can be arranged to fit around a busy lifestyle.

Or you can take on a non-unit supporting role. Guiding as an adult is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people to share your next adventure. If you’re interested in trying new guiding challenges explore the Trefoil Guild.
Every hour counts!
Our incredible volunteers contribute more than ten million hours to guiding every year. Some give a couple of hours here and there, for example helping out with driving for trips, fundraising and events planning, or even doing the annual accounts for local groups. Others give their time as Unit Volunteers and Young Leaders, providing girls and young women with a space where they can be themselves.
Whatever your skills and interests, and no matter how much time you have to spare, one of our volunteering roles is bound to suit you.
