Whether you’re involved in guiding or not, Trefoil Guild is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people to share your next adventure – whatever that might be! Full membership is open to anyone over the age of 18 (male or female) who is willing to make the Promise. Members choose their own programme and the frequency of their meetings at a time to suit them.
Guild members agree to support the guiding ethos – including the pledge to help other people. Guilds give practical, financial, and moral support to Guiding and Scouting.
But it’s not all about the young people – there are plenty of opportunities for members to try something new, take on a new personal challenge and escape the daily routine. The best thing is that what you do is up to you!
Groups arrange days or evenings out; town trails are popular, learn new skills, craft activities, interesting speakers. There are also opportunities to join regional or nationally organised holidays in the UK or overseas.
Visit the national website for more details.
