The Trefoil magazine is distributed 4 times a year to all Trefoil members. It is a members magazine, for and by our members. A volunteer team of members help collate and edit the content in conjunction with the Trefoil office staff. The Trefoil covers a range of topics from all areas of our membership, including:
- snapshots of the amazing activities you try
- welcome from our national chair or president
- articles, features and series
- your achievements and letters
- updates from our international adviser
- programme ideas from our programme and development adviser
- information from our communications and engagement adviser
We love to hear what members get up to. Your fantastic achievements, activities, and your thoughts and opinions all contribute to our magazine. To submit an article or photo to The Trefoil magazine, download our form and email it, alongside your photographs, to: trefoilguild@girlguiding.org.uk

Submitting your photos:
When submitting photos, they need to be a minimum of 1mb or reasonable size and quality for us to use them. Photos saved from WhatsApp and Facebook are often too low quality for use. Please send us the original camera files or phone photographs where possible.
Please note:
The magazine is often sent copy about the landmark birthdays of its members or guilds and we are also sent obituaries. It may be helpful to understand the magazine’s policy of these. The editorial board feels that there is so much that Trefoil Guild members are getting up to that magazine space is better used to celebrate this than birthdays. It is also felt that obituaries are not appropriate for publication unless they are of a nationally-recognised person who has been at the forefront of guiding or Trefoil Guild for several years.
