Girlguiding launches self-expression uniform as transgender exclusion looms

Girlguiding unveiled its first full uniform redesign in over 30 years on 27 July 2026, centred on choice — members need only wear a top to be "in uniform." Yet from 6 September 2026, existing transgender members must leave under a policy announced in March. The juxtaposition of empowerment messaging with narrowed membership criteria leaves the organisation's 300,000 members navigating both shifts within weeks.
