In an email sent to members today, Girl Guiding has announced they are planning to close the activity centres of Blackland Farm, Foxlease, Glenbrook, Waddow Hall, and Ynysgain, because of the investment needed and the reduced number of members using them in the past decade. 

This decision is wrong, and not in the principles of Guiding that have stood for over 113 years, and their new strapline of "Every Girl Can". If every girl cannot go to a national activity centre, then what is the point of this strap line when it seems they can't do that? 

As a member of Guiding for over 30 years, I'm angry and saddened by the attempts of the board of trustees to strip Guiding of its assets to save money as they say girls are not interested in using the facilities, this is not true with every unit, division, district, county, and region of Guiding. 

Please sign this petition, to ask the board of trustees to rethink the closure of these places, so that future Rainbows Brownies, Guides, Rangers, leaders, Trefoil Guild, and the general public can use these places
