February 2012
One of the main pieces of work that the girls will be doing this year is called ‘On Your marks’ and yes, you guessed, it is about the Olympic games. There are 3 sections to the award, Culture, Values and Sport and for each section 3 activities/crafts/research have to be completed to gain one third of the badge. When the girls have completed all sections the badge is complete. The first activity is for the girls to decide which of the 10 suggested activities they want to complete for each section.
Alongside this we will be preparing for our Division Thinking Day event, which is taking place at. St. Leonards church on Saturday 25th February in the afternoon. Each girl has to make a passport and as she travels around various countries taking part in the activity planned her passport will be stamped. This event is for all ages so our older Guides will be helping the Rainbows on the day. We have chosen Japan as our country, so are preparing an origami activity for possibly 150 girls!!!
On 12th March there is to be a talent show at St. Paul’s church and each Guide Unit has to nominate two acts for that, so auditions are running at the moment.
We have 22 girls on the books and an average attendance of 18 and are delighted that Linda Formby, our Division Commissioner, came last Monday to present Sian with her Guider’s Warrant, as a fully fledged Assistant Guider. Although Sian is now at Liverpool University, she is still helping with the Unit and Suzanne, who is at University is helping with a Guide Unit near to where she is living.
