Brownies are to start learning to code while younger girls in Rainbows will explore app design in a bid to inspire more of them to take up STEM subjects.
Just over half (52%) of girls aged 11 to 21 think STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects are for boys, a Girlguiding survey has shown.
Now new digital skills activities are being rolled out to the charity's national programme for ages five to 18.
Ten-year-old Brownie Peyton said she loved learning to code.
"It was so much fun. Fixing bugs was hard, but once I tried it a few times, I could do it", she said.
