What #AdventureForAll means to us – Pawprint Family’s commitment to diversity

As conversations continue within the guiding community, we want to take a moment to reaffirm what Pawprint Family stands for.

Pawprint Family’s motto always has and always will be, #AdventureForAll, and that includes members of the trans community. Our resources are created to be inclusive and adaptable, designed for people from all walks of life and for those who choose to do things differently. We offer structure without rigidity on purpose, so those taking part can shape their experience around what works for them, whatever that may look like.

We believe that children - and the parents, teachers and leaders who support them - already face enough challenges within existing systems, and we will always aim to remove barriers, not create them.

For full context, you can read the recent Girlguiding statement here. 

You can find further support and resources through organisations such as Stonewall who provide guidance for LGBTQ+ communities, including trans and non-binary individuals.

For those looking to explore the Pawprint Family values in practice, our Pride Challenge badge is supported by activity ideas created by young people, for young people.

Continuing the conversation

We will be updating our Pride Challenge badge and activity pack, working with the Pawprint Family community to ensure they remain relevant, inclusive and meaningful. If you would like to share your thoughts or ideas as part of this update, we’d love to hear from you.
