Thinking of all my @girlguidingbgo friends especially on this World Mental Health day. It has been an incredibly tough year for us but we stuck together and have helped each other through. Thank you to all of my sisters in Guiding. 😘
Totally not ok. Today I received an individual email notification "sorry to hear a young member has left girlguiding" for each one of my former BGO guides. If you were sorry you wouldn't do this @Chief_Guide @GirlguidingCEO #notmygirlguiding
@Chief_Guide how can you be su cruel with @girlguidingbgo that we leaders receive an info mail for every single girl you inactivate? It’s downright inhuman how @Girlguiding treats their former sisters in guiding overseas
@bwadebrownowl The current trustees will have served their 5 years, and moved onto something new by the time we start to feel the real repercussions of closing BGO & the TACS. For most, being a trustee was just a box ticking exercise, and just another item to add to their LinkedIn profile.
@Girlguiding Why do you treat your volunteers so badly ?
You haven't explained why BGO is being closed. "Corporate risk" is not an explanation. The scouts carry the same risk. US scouting both girls and boys operate outside of the US
not closing.
After 20 plus years volunteering I'm gone.
@Guiding_LaSER@Girlguiding Yes, my daughters‘ gold awards as a Rainbow and Brownie, yet due to @Girlguiding @GirlguidingCEO @Chief_Guide they no longer have a chance to continue their guiding story.
@GirlguidingCEO you would have had the chance to proof that @Girlguiding is something for the girls, yet you chose to destroy a +110 years safe space for British girls around the globe by closing down @girlguidingbgo without any proper explanation. Such a sad day!
@Girlguiding At the bottom of the pages of the blog from the Chief Guide there is our mission statement:“Whoever they are, wherever they’re from, girls can do anything” Talk about irony! Makes my blood boil that the Board have completely gone against our mission with no rational explanation.
Girlguiding leaders have paid tribute to the charity’s overseas operations, as many of its units prepare to close this week @girlguidingbgo https://t.co/zN4vo9TL4W

On the day we are sacked from Girlguiding UK the emotion is (not) palpable in this farewell I’ve never seen less emotion or belief in a script in my life! #sailingwithbgo
@GirlguidingCEO @Girlguiding@FoxleaseTAC@WaddowHall Such a shame that they won’t be able to do this ever again once all the TACs are sold. Not to mention the thousands of devastated girls and volunteers in @girlguidingbgo that can’t have fun with their guiding units any more.
BGO volunteers, Caroline and Brooke, are helping at #WelliesAndWristbands@FoxleaseTAC this weekend. Make sure to say hi if you spot them 👋
They even managed to join the sail away event earlier.
