Girlguiding UK overhauls uniforms for first time in over 30 years

Monday, 27 July 2026, 06:50 · 1 min read

Girlguiding UK (a British youth organisation for girls aged four to 18 with around 300,000 members) has launched a fully redesigned uniform range for all its groups — Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, and Rangers — for the first time since 1990. Developed over two years with input from 55,000 girls and women, the new collection relaxes previous dress rules so that members need only wear a branded top to be considered "in uniform," reflecting survey findings that nearly half of girls feel most confident when they can choose what to wear. The redesign, which includes practical features such as hidden waistband pockets and badge sashes that double as bags, comes as the charity also prepares to implement a policy change from September that will restrict membership to biological girls.
