Girl Guiding & Scouts

We welcome uniform groups such as Brownies, Beavers, Guides, Scouts, and Rainbows. Whether you want a guided tour, a trail, or even a local history workshop we’re happy to work with you to design your ideal session. We can accommodate evening and weekend visits.

Godalming Museum welcomes uniformed groups and youth groups who wish to explore our collection and engage in workshops to support their achievements for activity badges.  We offer daytime and evening twilight visits to the museum, and outreach sessions to the group’s meeting place.  See the School Visits page to view our range of workshops which can be adapted for different age groups and access needs. 

We are happy to discuss bespoke requirements for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers, for Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, and for Cadets, especially if the group are working towards requirements for a specific activity badge. 

If you would like to discuss your requirements or require help making a booking please contact the Education & Outreach Officer by email on museum.education@godalming-tc.gov.uk or call us on 01483 426510.
