The Girlguiding Journey garden
The Girlguiding Journey was created to tell the story of how girls grow through guiding, from Rainbows to Rangers, using nature, sustainability and hands on learning. Designed for the Sandringham Fower Show 2026, the garden reflects real Girlguiding badgework, including Bee Rescuers, Grow Your Own, Biodiversity and Gardening. At its heart is the Girlguiding promise bench, symbolising the values that connect all sections as girls develop confidence, skills and a deeper relationship with the natural world.
The challenge pack
The challenge pack exists so that everyone can be part of that story. The garden represents the kind of learning that happens every week in units across the region, and this challenge invites members to explore the same ideas through practical, achievable activities. By taking part, girls are developing skills, taking action for nature and becoming a part of a shared project that celebrates teamwork, curiosity and care for the environment.
Continuing the journey
After the flower show, the journey continues. The garden will be relocated to Hautbois Activity Centre, becoming a permanent outdoor classroom. There it will support badge work, outdoor learning and reflection for thousands of girls each year, leaving a lasting legacy built from the skills, values and actions of Girlguiding Anglia members today.
The activities
To complete The Girlguiding Journey challenge, you will need to complete a minimum of 4 challenges, with at least 1 from each of the 3 sections: discover, create and share. Many of the activities included could also link to the Girlguiding programme. The challenges can be adapted to be done at home, in the unit meeting place, or in a local community space. The focus is on learning, getting hands-on, and understanding the why behind the actions.
