{{Main|Scout troop}}
Local groups, called variously units, companies or troops, are the fundamental unit of the Girl Guides. These are run by an adult, normally a woman who is between 18 and 65 years of age. She has responsibility for the girls in her group and plans out activities for the girls as well as leading the meetings. These leaders are supported by assistants. Meetings are held anywhere from weekly to monthly depending on the commitments of the participants and the activities in progress.<ref name="Units">{{Cite web|url=http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/xq/asp/sID.146/qx/whoweare/article.asp |title=Who We Are |publisher=Girlguiding UK |access-date=5 January 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070507004512/http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/xq/asp/sID.146/qx/whoweare/article.asp |archive-date=7 May 2007 |url-status=dead  }}</ref>
