Navigating girlhood is tricky enough but managing your period while at camp or a sleepover is one of their biggest concerns say 68% of girls according to our recent Girl Research.

84% said the fear of leaking through their clothes away from home was a huge worry, adding yet another layer of anxiety during those early period years.

As is known in Guiding, spending time away at camp or sleepovers is an effective way for girls to learn essential life skills, to make decisions and take responsibility for themselves. It is a fun way to explore and learn valuable skills that support emotional, social, creative, and spiritual growth.

Consider therefore the impact on girls’ mindset and confidence, if they do not participate in these activities just because they have their period. It is clear how much teens are missing out! At this young age we need girls to develop grit, confidence, and a positive mindset.

Their adventures should not be paused for a period, yet nearly 1 in 3 girls say their period stopped them from participating in camps and sleepovers.
