Scottish Rugby and Girlguiding Scotland team up to get more girls into sport

Scotland are teaming up to empower more girls to discover the fun and fitness of rugby in a ground-breaking new partnership.

The new programme called ‘Guides into Rugby’ aims to encourage Girlguiding Scotland members age 10 to 14, many of whom may never have played rugby before, to experience Scottish Rugby’s Tartan Touch, a fun, simplified non-contact version of the sport.

As the leading charity for girls and young women in the country, with 50,000 members aged 5-25, it is hoped thousands of girls will have the opportunity to discover what rugby has to offer.   More
