Any update on Girl Guiding?

I was wondering if there had been any changes (that I might have missed) on girl guiding and safeguarding. It occurred to me that after Keira and Liz Truss with single sex spaces, Girl Guiding might be having a look at their policies.

Katie Alcock's case is still going ahead (?) so I suspect no change yet.

I’ve had a quick look at their policy which hasn’t been updated since 2019. They mention a number of times that they are girl only and that they use the EA 2010 single sex exemption BUT they define ‘trans girls’ as girls and are clear that it means mtf transition (I did hope it meant ftm but no).

So no change there.

I'd love to know also, and how Sonia Appleby, David Bell and James Caspian are getting on.
