Join the County International team
Are you passionate about international Guiding? Would you like to pass on your enthusiasm to others?
Having taken over as County International Adviser earlier this year, I’m making some changes to the way we promote and support international guiding in Hampshire West. I’m looking for a small team of four to help me with each of the following roles:
- Promoting and running the annual international selection day for girls (INTOPS)
- Supporting members with fundraising for international trips
- Advising on/encouraging participation in unit international activities
- Recruiting and coordinating a network of international champions across the county
Some of these roles would benefit from first-hand experience of travelling internationally through Guiding – but this isn’t essential for all of them. For example, to support members with fundraising advice, it’s more important that you are well-organised and good at fact-finding while an experienced unit leader might be just what we need to encourage leaders to introduce international activities into their unit.
If you are interested in any of these roles, please email me at international_adviser@gghw.org.uk.
I’m happy to chat informally and without commitment but if you already have an idea of which of the above roles would interest you, please do include that information.
Once this team is in place, we will also be looking for adults and girls across the county who would be prepared to join a new network of international champions. This will be a really informal role, with no fixed term of office and no fixed time commitment. You simply need to be someone who has travelled internationally through Guiding and would be prepared to be contacted to share your experience with others who are considering taking the first step. This could be on a one to one basis or could involve talking to a unit or group of adults about your experience. More about this one to follow…

1st Response Trainers
If you are thinking of extending your skills to deliver 1st Response courses, the instructor must have:
- A Girlguiding Trainer Qualification or any adult teaching or training qualification (this could even be something like a sports coach).
- A current, valid first aid qualification which involved at least 16 hours of training and an assessment.
- Up-to-date and working first aid knowledge (you must be able to answer questions).
Doctors and nurses can run 1st Response courses if they can show current experience of first aid skills by providing sufficient evidence in their training portfolio.

Learning and Development Task & Finish Group
We are seeking to involve more people in the delivery of training events by the use of task and finish groups, both to organise training events and to look at other ways of support and development. If you have expertise in this area, why not consider helping others develop their skills?
