Ceredigion
Ceredigion is traditionally an agricultural county bounded on the West by the coastline of Cardigan Bay and boasting the second highest mountain in Wales, Cader Idris. There are two universities in the county at Aberystwyth and Lampeter, the latter being the third oldest university in England and Wales, after Oxford and Cambridge. Aberystwyth is also home to the National Library.
We have three Guiding districts named after the local rivers of Ystwyth, Aeron and Teifi. There are 500 members of Girlguiding in the county, in units for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Senior Section.
