Ellie Lees

Hi SSAGO!

I’m Ellie, your Publicity Officer for 2026–27!

My Guiding journey began 17 years ago when I started Rainbows at age 4, and it hasn’t slowed down since. Alongside that, I’ve had a stint in Sea Scouts and Explorers, so I’ve been lucky enough to experience the best of both worlds. I’m now both a Guide and Scout leader. I'm the unit leader for two Rainbow units, two Brownie units, a Guide unit, and a Ranger unit (which I lead), as well as helping out with an Explorer group, all while studying at university in Bangor.

On top of this, I’ve somehow found time to be the Inspire Lead for Cymru and a Peer Educator, and I previously served as Chair of Girlguiding’s NWE Youth Voice Board.

When choosing universities, my two must-haves were a strong History department and an active SSAGO club, so Bangor was the perfect fit. I’ve taken on a big role within Bangor BUGS, serving as Publicity Officer in my first year and Treasurer in my second, as well as Merch and Publicity Officer for Rali Eryri. SSAGO has given me some of my closest friendships, and I’m really excited to give back to such an incredible organisation.

Outside of SSAGO, I study History, Heritage & Archaeology (a bit of a mouthful!) and hope to graduate in 2027. In my free time, you’ll usually find me somewhere in Eryri: rock climbing, paddleboarding, or off on some kind of adventure.

If you spot me at a rally in my pink hoodie (usually with a Diet Coke in hand!), please come and say hi—I’d love to meet you all. And if I can help with anything from social media templates to brand guidelines, badges, or anything in between, don’t hesitate to drop me an email.
