The proposed research examines reasons for the sustainability of The Guide Association (GA, formerly Girl Guide Association, founded in 1909), evaluating its role in the context of changing youth policy, financial austerity and reorganisation of UK youth provision. Based on historical documentary research nationally and locally and a qualitative study of guide units operating in North East England, this is a collaborative research project developed in partnership with Youth Focus North East (YFNE), a third sector 'hub' connecting young people, youth organisations and professionals.The research will evaluate the informal education model of youth work adopted by GA (purposes, values, activities, impact), identifying lessons for other voluntary youth organisations and the youth sector as a whole at a time when youth provision is in serious decline. GA is currently thriving. It identifies itself as a feminist youth organisation and has maintained its position as girls only. It is unique in the UK as a national youth organisation that has actively rejected the mixed model of youth work and views itself as a feminist youth work agency. The research will consider the extent to which the GA is a feminist youth organisation, why it is so attractive to young women, what impact it has on their lives and what youth policymakers/practitioners can learn from the example of GA. The collaborative partner, Youth Focus North East, has a direct interest in this research as it links with current work examining alternative models of youth work as statutory provision is inserious decline.

拟议的研究探讨了导游协会（GA，前身为女童军协会，成立于 1909 年）可持续发展的原因，评估了其在不断变化的青年政策、财政紧缩和英国青年供应重组的背景下的作用。这是一个合作研究项目，以国家和地方的历史文献研究以及对英格兰东北部运作的指导单位的定性研究为基础，与连接年轻人、青年组织和专业人士的第三部门“中心”青年焦点东北部 (YFNE) 合作开发。该研究将评估 GA 所采用的青年工作非正式教育模式（目的、价值观、活动、影响），并为其他志愿青年组织和青年部门确定经验教训： 整个时期，青年供给严重下降。 GA目前正在蓬勃发展。它把自己定位为一个女权主义青年组织，并一直保持其仅限女孩的立场。作为一个全国性的青年组织，它积极拒绝青年工作的混合模式，并将自己视为女权主义青年工作机构，这在英国是独一无二的。该研究将考虑大会作为一个女权主义青年组织的程度、为什么它对年轻女性如此有吸引力、它对她们的生活有何影响以及青年政策制定者/从业者可以从大会的例子中学到什么。合作伙伴青年焦点东北部对这项研究有直接兴趣，因为它与当前研究青年工作替代模式的工作相关，因为法定规定严重下降。
