Girlguiding under fire for making Brownies and Guides wear face masks from the age of seven

Parents say they have been pulling their children out of Brownies and Guides because they're being made to wear masks.

"I had expressly told them she would not be wearing a mask. I've now emailed to say she will not be returning until they stop their ridiculous rules and said how hurt I was that they ignored what I'd said."

"Then when it came to her session ending, she comes out and immediately tells me they made her wear a mask. I confronted them and all they did was deny it and said she agreed to it.
"After talking to my daughter more, she stated they kept telling her all the other Guides were wearing them and she is the only one left out not wearing one and handed it to her, so she felt like she had to wear it."
The mum lodged a complaint with the The Guide Association headquarters, but says her daughter is
