The community action challenge is the largest project of its kind to be undertaken by the Guides. The scheme gives its 575, 000 members the opportunity to support a wide range of worthwhile causes: from tacking climate change and bullying to building a girls’ school in Liberia.
Organisers have teamed up with 19 charities, including Unicef UK, WaterAid and Friends of the Earth. Each of these partner organisations has created an individual project for the Girlguides to participate in over the course of the year.
The activities that the girls will take on range from raising money and raising awareness to getting involved directly. Girls will be given the choice over which projects they take part in and will be awarded a Changing the World badge to mark their involvement and achievements over the year.
