6th Perth Guides couldn’t wait to dive into the new interest badges! 🌟

They chose the Friendship badge first and ticked off two clauses at their meeting — including a great discussion about what makes a good friend.

Volunteering with Girlguiding isn’t just rewarding - it’s where friendships for life are made. Shared challenges, laughter, & purpose bring people together in a way that lasts far beyond guiding.

Ban trans people from trains and buses, that will fix it

Girls and young women ‘feel unsafe on public transport’
The Guardian 23 Sep 2025 Emine Sinmaz
Two-thirds of girls and young women have changed their behaviour to try to stay safe, with 31% avoiding taking public transport alone, according to a survey by the Girlguiding charity.

The research found that 56% of girls and young women aged between 11 and 21 said they felt unsafe taking public transport by themselves, up from 45% in 2022, while almost one-third said they had avoided it altogether.

Girlguiding’s annual Girls’ Attitudes survey found that 86% of 11- to 21-year-olds had avoided going out in the dark to stay safe, with girls of colour more likely not to step out.

It found 68% changed their everyday behaviour to avoid being sexually harassed, one in three (32%) changing what they wore. More than a quarter (28%) of the 2,640 respondents said they had avoided places where they used to socialise and one in 10 had changed where they exercised (12%) to avoid sexual harassment.
