About Routes 

Routes is Girlguiding Scotland’s offer for current and former members aged 18-30. It connects those in this age group and provides opportunities for training and skills development. This is delivered via 4 strands: 

• Connect – a WhatsApp community for current and former members aged 18-30. 

• Develop – monthly online calls focussed on sharing knowledge and learning new skills. Each is focussed on a specific topic and may include time for networking. 

• Meet – in person meet ups for members with a focus on skills development and networking. 

• Explore – opportunities connecting 18-30 members to existing volunteers in counties and Girlguiding Scotland for shadowing and mentoring. 

Following a successful pilot of Routes in 2025, we’re delighted to be expanding the offer over 2026 and 2027.
