Rebecca Matthews
Leader
When I moved abroad, everything in my life changed and it was so overwhelming. I quickly got in touch with BGO to continue my Leadership for Brownies. It was the best thing I did! BGO is so welcoming and such an amazing extension of the GirlGuiding family. It was the consistent GG family that I needed when everything else was changing.
I had the amazing opportunity to re-start a Brownie unit with other leaders in Dubai and we watched it grow overtime. As we started the unit again, we met young members who were also going through a life change and moving to a new country. They were equally pleased to be able to continue with Guiding in their new home and we were able to share our Guiding journey together.
Being a part of BGO has been so important for many of us to keep in touch with the Guiding we sadly left in the UK. We’re be sad that this journey is coming to an end and we hope there will be an opportunity to re-start guiding abroad soon.
