Transgender girls must leave Girlguiding by September 6, the organisation has said following its announcement in December that membership would be restricted to girls and young women. Girlguiding said that since that ruling, it had undertaken "detailed considerations, expert legal advice and input from senior members, young members", its council and board of trustees. The organisation said trans girls who are members can stay until September 6. It added that any trans girl or trans woman who is currently volunteering in a role open to women only will be required to move by this date to a position that is open to male or females.
