Set right in the middle of Devon, Okehampton Division can offer you the open moors of Dartmoor, National Trust properties, sports facilities, and a wide selection of shops. Okehampton Youth Hostel is on the edge of the moor and offers a variety of outdoor activities, walk or cycle to Meldon Dam or go for a horse ride and enjoy the wonderful scenery. If you are not so energetic there is an outdoor pool in Chagford and indoor ones in Okehampton and Holsworthy. Why not visit Castle Drogo near Chagford, Okehampton Castle or Finch Foundry in Sticklepath.
Girlguiding in Okehampton
Girlguiding Okehampton is a lively division with 153 girls across 15 units, welcoming Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, and Rangers. Situated on the edge of Dartmoor, our units enjoy access to stunning landscapes, where they engage in activities like hiking, outdoor skills, and environmental projects, as well as indoor events that encourage creativity and teamwork.
Okehampton units offer a supportive environment where girls can earn badges, explore their interests, and participate in community projects. With a mix of adventure and learning, our members build friendships and confidence that stay with them long after each meeting.
Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and division commissioner, girlguiding in Okehampton is growing and ready to welcome new members and leaders. Interested in joining? Please register your interest here.
