Awards

Girlguiding Recognition

Awards are a wonderful way to celebrate the achievements of members and recognised volunteers.  Girlguiding has a number of awards which may be presented in recognition of length of service, commendable conduct or outstanding and excellent service.

If you think someone in our County deserves an award, please get in touch using the link below, so we can help you with the application which needs to be supported by the County Commissioner before they are submitted.

Silver Lion Award

The Silver Lion Award is exclusively for current active members of Girlguiding Surrey East to recognise excellent/outstanding service within our County.  This may be across a single or wide section of guiding either in their local area or across the county.

It is normally presented by the County Commissioner or her representative.

Queen’s Guide Award

If you’re aged 16 to 30 and want to work on the highest award in girlguiding the Queen’s Guide award is for you!  It takes 3 years and is definitely a challenge, but there is lots of support available.

The Queen’s Guide award has five sections:

  • Personal development challenge
  • Guiding challenge
  • Community action challenge
  • Lead the way challenge
  • Social experience challenge

You can achieve your Queen’s Guide award alongside your Gold Duke of Edinburgh award as long as you satisfy the requirements for both awards.

Find out more on the girlguiding website, then when you’re ready contact Alex Lorenz, Queen’s Guide coordinator, to get started!
