BIGG as they are known, are a one of a kind Guide unit providing a unique place for girls with special needs to meet and thrive in a guiding environment, working for their badges and having fun just like their mainstream friends in Rainbow’s, Brownies and Guides.
BIGG is a very special unit who meet once a month at Mary Bassett School in Leighton Buzzard and Rotary are delighted that this vital service is delivered in our community providing a unique chance for girls to learn all those special guiding life skills that will be so valuable in the years ahead.
