Girlguiding North West England
Girlguiding North West England is one of the nine Countries and Regions of Girlguiding UK. It is further subdivided into 17 Girlguiding Counties. These are not the same as the counties defined by the British government. The region was introduced in 1960 covering the Counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Cheshire, Lancashire, plus the Isle of Man and the 'Overseas Territories', with the headquarters in Preston. It is also known, for example to the Charity Commissioners, as the Guide Association North West England.
In 2010, Girlguiding Isle of Man was the largest voluntary youth organisation on the Island, with 1300 members.
