Welcome to Venture Abroad’s homepage dedicated entirely to Guide Holidays - providing worldwide activity breaks for members of Girlguiding UK. Here you can catch up on any exciting travel news and updates from guides around the UK, whilst browsing some of the fantastic activity breaks that have been designed specifically for Brownies, Guides and Senior Section members.

Venture Abroad is pleased to be continuing our partnership with Girlguiding UK into 2011, which means that we can work together to give as many Guiding members as possible the opportunity to travel abroad and experience different cultures and activities.

There are many different routes that you can take when planning a holiday abroad and we want to help make it as easy as possible for you! It is important to remember that one of the first stages in planning your trip is to contact your County International Advisor who will be able to provide the information required to help you start the planning process. Once you have completed the required forms and ensured that you hold the licenses required to travel abroad with your group, the fun of planning a trip can really begin!

Find out what the Venture Abroad reps got up to in Adelboden, Kandersteg, De Kluis and at the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden.
