What is the project aiming to do?

The project is trying new and innovative ways to:

• Support commissioners to enjoy their roles and work effectively
• Support commissioners to have the skills, knowledge and experience they need
• Be prepared for future leadership needs at all levels
• Ensure our culture is as welcoming and as inclusive as it can be so we can attract and keep volunteers

What’s happening as part of the project?

This project includes a range of pilots including new resources, events and communication campaigns. By March 2026, we’ll have identified which of these pilots are most effective in achieving our aims. From this we can then decide which are suitable to be scaled up or rolled out across Girlguiding Scotland.  

How can I get involved?  

We’ve been really grateful to have lots of interest from members in trying out new ideas this year. 

For more opportunities to get involved in projects like this, keep an eye on the Girlguiding Scotland events page, social media channels, @GirlguidingScot, and marketing emails.

How can I find out more?  

Hear more from Scottish Chief Commissioner Elaine about this project.
