Such a dignified farewell. I strongly feel closing BGO is a mistake and maybe one day the trustees will see sense or listen to their membership

@girlguidingbgo All members of BGO aged 13-18 are welcome on our server, even when BGO is gone. You'll always be our Guiding sisters 💙

Sadly we now have to say a final farewell to British Girlguiding Overseas.
BGO was awesome!
No more words.... 😢

This is amazing I have posted, as have so many in the last few months about what an important role BGO plays in children’s lives overseas this just shows that it’s been a huge part for nearly 100 years so sad in a few days @Girlguiding close BGO for good

Amazing how WW2 and being interred in a Japanese POW camp didn’t stop @girlguidingbgo @BGOAsia but @Girlguiding did. #SailingWithbgo

Today is The Feast of The Blessed Virgin Mary, giving thanks for her faith & trust in God. In 431AD, The Council of Ephesus confirmed her status as ‘Theotokos’ meaning ‘Mother of God.’ She's an inspiration to Christians globally, and the most depicted woman in human history.

Fantastic concert by @nsgso_nsgcb. As usual the standard was very high and the performance outstanding! Well done to all the guides and scouts and the #volunteers that make it happen @GirlguidingMids @girlguiding @scouts

Proud to promote our girlguiding area Banff & Buchan at our local show, even prouder when we receive an award for the best newcomer stand @GirlguidingScot #volunteer

Funding available to critical frontline services! Could your organisation access the £76M Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund? This funding is for organisations that support communities under pressure because of the increased cost of living.

We have our new sign approved @GirlguidingMids as we are a listed building! Looks quite smart I think! 😆

Delayed because of covid our last biennual region camp took place a year late in 2022. We had a fabulous week reconnecting with each other at Waddow for Together22, leaving us with some wonderful memories.

For our biennual BGO Region Camp in the UK in 2017, we had a change of venue. Challenge17 was held at PGL. This was when we also marked the change in our name from British Guides in Foreign Countries to British Girlguiding Overseas. See the new flag!!

A wonderful final camp with the Guides and Rangers from Brussels & Paris Tower bridge, Archery, Tomahawk throwing, Charles Darwins birthplace, hiking, decorating shoes and lots of washing up. Plus an in person visit from River Rodents and our virtual festival furry friends.
