We’re excited to share international opportunities for 2026 – applications are open for both girls and leaders for Manchester County and North West England Region adventures!
As well as County opportunities, we are also showcasing four Region adventures to Malawi, Armenia, Sweden and ICE Gibraltar.
Leaders: Are you looking for a challenge this year? This could be for you – no previous experience necessary, we’re looking for enthusiastic leaders to form a team to deliver an amazing adventure for you and the girls. You’ll learn fantastic transferable skills and make friends for life. You will be supported throughout by both County and Region Advisers and grants are available to ensure the cost doesn’t become prohibitive. You will need to be available on Saturday 15 March 2025 to attend a selection event at NW Region HQ.
Participants: The 2026 International trips have something for everyone – whether id be going on safari or attending a Jamboree camp, all of the opportunities all have one thing in common – Girlguiding! You’ll meet other members from all over the world, learn about their guiding units and have a great time experiencing new cultures and traditions. Above all, you’ll experience this journey with new friends and enjoy it together! You will need to be available from 28-30 March 2025 to attend the County selection event at Ashley Activity Centre and from 4-6 July 2025 at Guys Farm Activity Centre to attend the NW Region Event.
You only have to complete the application form once to register for all opportunities available – which can be found here: IntOps International 2026
All applications must be submitted no later than 11:59pm on Friday 31 January 2025. Good Luck!
