The UK maintains strong cultural links with the Overseas Territories and our continuing partnership bring benefits to the UK and to the Territories. The Government shares the disappointment felt in the Overseas Territories at the decision of Girlguiding UK to end support for British Girlguiding Overseas operations. We are continuing discussions with Girlguiding UK, together with Department for Culture, Media and Sport as the lead Department, and the Ministry of Defence, on how Girlguiding in the Overseas Territories can continue to be supported.
