Girlguiding - Rainbows, Brownies & Guides

Wow - the years just melt away don't they?

My favourite song was "Barges"
Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges flickering light...

But I used to love all the campfire songs!
Happy Days.

Thanks for that, I emailed via the site about two weeks ago, just waiting for my details to be passed on. My uni friends think I'm crazy going back and helping, but I feel after all the years I had I should give something back!

Hiya,

No need to buy an adult uniform straight away! Hold fire on it as you find most units will supply uniform or give you a 50% refund. If not, you can source secondhand uniform online.

That's relatively unusual actually - but still worth asking, and certainly don't rush out and buy stuff until you check out what the local view is. Have a great time, you'll enjoy being back :beer:

Has anyone read the book 'Brown Owl's Guide to Life?' It's a 'chic lit' about the Pixie Six who are now 'all grown up'

Yes, I wasn't convinced it was very good for GGUK

In our division you get one free polo shirt every 2 years, paid out of division funds.

Most groups I've been part of would be happy to provide a leader with a basic uniform from subs (and help any young people whose families were struggling too)

You can visit the Girlguiding uk website at www.girlguiding.org.uk and there is also a Youtube channel which gives 'official' more information.

I received a get well trefoil from my brownies today, I'm really proud of all of them. Between my rainbows and brownies we've had over 50 parents sign up for organ donation and my brownies are making a challenge badge up to promote organ and blood donation.

We're making a poster for the local GP surgery at the moment (well they are now lol) to show how important it is to give blood over the winter as it's so desperately needed.

Guiding is about social responsibility too and my lot are shaping up to be confident, responsible adults if they stay on track
