4th Borehamwood Guides are a Guide Company sponsored by Borehamwood & Elstree United Synagogue.  We are part of Girlguiding UK Elstree & Borehamwood District and meet at the Gilah Hall, Borehamwood Shul on a Monday evening between 7 & 8.30pm in termtime.  All Adult Leaders & Members over 16 have undergone a CRB check.

Our young members are aged between 10 & 14 and complete an exciting & varied programmed that encourages them to have fun, help other people and go on adventures in a safe environment.  The Guides work on lots of Challenges & Badges that can eventually lead to the sought after Baden Powell Trefoil award.

As this is Girlguiding's Centenary year, we are planning a trip for both the Guides & the Senior Section to Switzerland during the summer 2010 half term as our special Centenary camp.

Our Senior Section are aged 14-25 & work as Young Leaders & Guide Leaders with the Girlguiding Units at the shul, as well as following their own innovative "Look Wider" programme which complements the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (Volunteering with a Rainbow, Brownie or Guide unit counts towards your Service Component of the D of E Award at all levels).

The Chief Guide's Challenge is open to all Senior Section members.  Young Leaders aged 14-16 work for their own Qualification.

Our 16+ Seniors can combine their Gold Award with the prestigious Queen's Guide Award, the highest Award that can be earned by a Guide aged under 18.  They can also undertake the Adult Leader Qualification and gain their Warrant on their 18th birthday.
