RAINBOW GUIDES
Rainbow Guides are for girls aged 5 to 7. They meet in the Scout Guide HQ, Badingham Road on Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. There are three Leaders and twenty girls. The activities during the meeting normally follow a theme, anything from 'animals' to 'healthy food'. All the activities would be based around that theme in a fun way.

BROWNIE PACKS
Second Framlingham Brownies meet on Mondays in the Scout and Guide HQ from 5:15 pm to 6:45 pm. There are three Leaders and at the moment, 28 Brownies.
First Framlingham Brownies meet on Tuesday evenings in the HQ from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. They have four Leaders and 28 Brownies.
Brownie Guides are aged from 7 to 10+. They are grouped in 'sixes' and enjoy many varied activities. Cooking, games, singing, crafts, walks, working for badges, and generally having fun. They go away on Pack Holiday at least once a year and join together with Brownies throughout Saxtead District for Brownie Revels and other fun outings.

GUIDE COMPANIES
There are two Guide Companies, 2nd Framlingham meet on Mondays from 7 pm to 9 pm and 1st Framlingham Guides meet on Tuesdays from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Scout and Guides HQ. Guides are aged from 10 to 15. At the moment we have two Companies with over 40 girls in each. They work together in Patrols and the programme is varied. Camping, cooking, crafts, pioneering, climbing the wall, walks, swimming, fire lighting, games, campfires, sailing, canoeing. The list is endless. Guides join together with other Companies for netball tournaments, swimming galas, Radio Communication weekends, camps, sailing weekends etc. They also carry out various service projects in the community.
Guides are encouraged to work together in small groups, govern themselves and make their own decisions. They should have a balanced and varied programme and share a commitment to a common standard with the emphasis on the care of the individual girl.
Many girls go on to become Young Leaders, helping with the various Units and passing on the skills that they learnt as Guides.
