International.
Girlguiding is part of a global community.
At North East England we have an active international team who plan and lead regular international trips.
Keep up-to-date with international opportunities with North East England on the region events calendar.
International Selection.
Every year we open a ballot for Guides, Rangers & Young Leaders to apply to join the international selection weekend. Names are drawn at random and you are invited to join the weekend, which is usually a camp. Look out for the next ballot on the events page.
The adult selection weekend is held ahead of the girl selection weekend, look out for the info on the events page.
ICE.
International Community Experience (ICE) is for Guides aged 11-13. The purpose of an ICE weekend is to give girls a taste of community action, increase their global awareness and prepare them for international experiences.
ICE presents a chance for the girls to learn what community action involves in an international setting, exploring different communities by volunteering with community links, such as RNIB, the Forestry Commission on the Isle of Man, Guide Dogs, and other similar organisations.
