#trans reporting

Girlguiding UK has become the latest in a long list of organisations to bend the knee to transphobia since the Supreme Court ruling in April, and has announced trans girls are now banned from girl guides (as of 02/12/25)

Here is their statement:

"Girlguiding’s governing charity documents set out that the membership and people who benefit from our organisation are girls and women. The Supreme Court ruled that girls and women are defined in the Equality Act 2010 by their biological sex at birth.

Following detailed considerations, expert legal advice and input from senior members, young members and our Council, the Board of Trustees for Girlguiding has made the difficult decision that Girlguiding must change, following the Supreme Court’s ruling.

From today, 2 December, it is with a heavy heart that we are announcing trans girls and young women will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community."

Many members of girl guides as well as scouts network have already started organising against them, and you can help!

If you are, or have ever been, affiliated with Guides or Scouts in the UK then please reach out to your local chapter of Guides, using this email template.

Alternatively, email [email protected] to volunteer your name and relationship to the organisation so you may be added as a signatory to the petition.

If you want to help but you weren't ever a part of the organisation, the generalised petition can be found here
