INTOPS volunteers

Fancy a new challenge in the year ahead? Why not apply to join the leadership team for INTOPS 2026?!

Having adventures is not just for younger members, it’s for leaders too! It can truly be life changing for our younger members and gives adults a wide range of transferable skills.
​
We are looking for enthusiastic leaders who are good team players, very organised and able to think on their feet to help form a county team for 2026.

What is INTOPS (INternational OPortuniteS)?

We are looking for adult members to lead INTOPs trips on behalf of Girlguiding Gloucestershire. This could be to a European destination, somewhere in the wider world, or leading a county contingent to a UK international jamboree in the UK. 

Holding the international going away with module at the time of application is not essential but you should be willing to work towards attaining this if selected.

You can read the main information about what INTOPS is on the INTOPS 2026 page.
​You can get in touch with our International adviser, Frances, to ask about what being a volunteer on an international adventure is all about.
Email our INTOPS adviser
 

What will I get from the adventure?

As well as taking part in a trip of a lifetime, our volunteers gain so much from the experience too.
  • Learning about the cultures of the destination county/ies
  • Learn/develop organisational skills
  • Take on new qualifications/modules
  • Meet new people from around the county
... to name but a few.
