Decisions by Girlguiding are also hurting local communities. A former guiding member local to #Foxlease and @LyndhurstPC points out the bid from Foxie's Future included a £1.73m government grant from @LUHC. #TellUsWhy Girlguiding would turn down this cash injection into Guiding?

The outdoor activity centres at #Foxlease and #WaddowHall have been in Girlguiding for generations. What's the cost of missed opportunities for #FutureGirls in future generations, @TracyFoster268 & @SallyKettle? #TellUsWhy Foxie's Future and @WaddowHallTrust bids were rejected.

Yet another #volunteer, this time an assistant Brownie leader, told us that they were questioning their commitment and linked Girlguiding's handling of the outdoor activity centre sales to their #MentalHealth. @GirlguidingCEO has a duty of care to members. Step 1: #TellUsWhy

This #volunteer, like many others, told us they don't feel members' voices are heard. What's the point in Girlguiding offering #SpeakingOut badges if HQ leads with a culture of not listening and not explaining? #TellUsWhy Foxie's Future and @WaddowHallTrust bids were rejected.

Bronia, a Girlguiding Division Commissioner, said she was "appalled by the decision" not to sell the outdoor activity centres to Foxie's Future and @WaddowHallTrust who made fully-funded, above asking price bids. #TellUsWhy They're important for "real adventure", @Chief_Guide

How has Girlguiding taken a path resulting in #volunteers like Louisa feeling their "thoughts, opinions and hard work count for nothing" and feel like quitting? Reflect on the damage done, @GirlguidingCEO, and #TellUsWhy you've made these decisions. Convince Louisa she matters.

Jo, an Assistant Guide Leader, is clearly losing confidence in GirlguidingCEO, @Chief_Guide, and the @Girlguiding trustees over the decision not to sell to Foxie's Future and @WaddowHallTrust Until they #TellUsWhy, it is hard to understand how this is "best outcome" for #Guiding

Lynne, a Rainbow & Brownie Leader, is sticking in #Guiding for "the girls". Many leaders told us this: they're so disaffected by Girlguiding's decision-making over the sale of #Foxlease and #Waddow, especially after the closure of @GirlguidingBGO. #TellUsWhy you rejected bids

Brooke, who was forced to leave #Guiding when GirlguidingBGO was closed, feels strongly about the closure of #Foxlease. Volunteers find @Girlguiding's decision to turn down fully funded bids from Foxie's Future & @WaddowHallTrust unfathomable & unforgivable. Please #TellUsWhy.

#Girlguiding #Volunteer Nicky said: "I would post by promise badge back to them in disgust - but I feel Girlguiding would just sell it for the money." She doesn't feel like the org cares about its members. This starts with @GirlguidingCEO & @Chief_Guide's failure to #TellUsWhy.
