We're at the end of 2023, and what a year it has been. So many great things have happened, and we've got so much planned for 2024... As unit leader, I have the absolute pleasure in saying thank you, so here goes... (and let's hope I don't miss anyone) Firstly, thank you to the girlsContinue reading "Thank you"
Festive Fun
Now I realise it's not even September, but I like to be prepared and get as much of the admin and preparation for activities across the term done over the holidays. So what better plan than starting at the end of the next term... (maybe it's because it's my favourite time of the year). We'reContinue reading "Festive Fun"
Badge stock update
As a unit we're really lucky to have such a great team of leaders. Not only do they give their time each week, but they go above and beyond to provide extra activities and to find grants and funding opportunities to reduce the cost of these events. The majority of the fundraising we do goesContinue reading "Badge stock update"

Originally these badges were given to units free when they completed some activities to inform the latest strategy. From the results of this the currentContinue reading "We’re all future girls…"
Girlguiding Hero
We're half way through week 2 of the Autumn term and what a term it is turning out to be. Tuesday we had some more new Rainbows visit and we had so much fun pretending to be cars and learning about how cars signal to show where they want to go, we thought about whoContinue reading "Girlguiding Hero"
Thank you
This week has been wonderful. Yesterday we received an Amazon delivery containing something from our wishlist. The folders we received will be very useful to store the resources we've created for some of our unit meeting activities. This means we can store them in our cupboard for the next time we want to do theContinue reading "Thank you"
