Who We Are!
London South West is part of LaSER Region.
We offer fantastic opportunities for all our girls and leaders both in weekly Guiding and by offering international opportunities.
Our units of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers cover a wide area of south west London and are grouped into eight districts:
-
-
- Balham and Tooting
- Battersea
- Central Wandsworth
- Clapham and Clapham Park
- Lambeth North
- Lambeth South
- Putney
- Streatham
-
We provide a great programme for all our members!
Our County supports all our members in their weekly programmes whilst also offering a wide range of activity days and large scale overnight and camping events including international trips.
Over the last few years we’ve run
- Lark in the Dark – a 1 night camp for Brownies at Cudham Campsite,
- Go for Gold – a weekend camp for Guides and Rangers and a very successful
- Thinking Day – sleepover for all sections at the Oval Cricket Ground.
Our international trips members have traveled to Romania, Croatia, Haiti, Japan and Peru (to name a few).
Closer to home we have held boating days, London adventures and outdoor skills days.
A Message From
Our County Commissioner
Hannah Crane
Welcome to the Girlguiding London South West website.
I am the County Commissioner for the area and that means I support all the wonderful volunteers that make Guiding happen locally.
I have been part of the County since 2008 and part of Guiding since I was a child. I love what we stand for and all the wonderful things we are able to do to support and develop girls and women.
I have been County Commissioner since January 2019 and work with a great team of volunteers who take on roles across the County to help week-in, week-out to make Guiding excellent.
London South West is a great place to get involved in Guiding for yourself or your daughter.
We pride ourselves on being a welcoming and open County looking to increase how many girls can access Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers from ages 5-18!
We look forward to welcoming you into our community as a member or a volunteer.

What our Young Members are Saying
“We slept in a really big tent, in sleeping bags with all our friends! We even stayed up after it got dark”
“Our team won the Night Hike. We did lots of challenges during the night around the campsite and then slept in tents with our teams. We had lots of fun exploring in the dark”
“I got to sail a boat on the lake, it was amazing. At the end we got to jump into the lake with our friends and have lots of fun.”
