On the 31st of January, 101 Guides, Rangers and Young Leaders went on a quest to find King Arthur’s sword.
Hosted by Hawkstone Park Follies, our young members bravely travelled by foot on a trail through the monuments, forests, over bridges and up and down many steps and all in the dark!. The sword was found and the treasure won!

Annual report from the Shamblers 2025 – 25 Shropshire Guiding volunteers, 1 region assessor and 3 guests Shambled around Shropshire and over the borders into Wales, Staffordshire and Worcestershire in 2025.
26 Shambles in all which covered a distance of almost 200 miles (300+km) or over 2000 Guiding miles. The weather included snow, a few torrential down pours and some extreme heat but we were prepared for anything – including a dodgy hip crisis.
Congratulations to Jeanette Price on gaining her level 2 Walking qualification – aided and abetted by the Shamblers.
Many thanks to everyone who planned and lead walks and everyone who promoted them.
Shambles are usually twice a month and are open to any member of Shropshire Guiding. Forthcoming dates are to be found on the Shropshire Guiding website if you’d like to come for a walk with a friendly and supportive group and chat to Guiding friends old and new. You can bring members of your unit too.
Thanks. All the best for 2026

Girlguiding Shropshire Vice-President, Jane Wardropper died on 7th Jan following a short illness.
A Guiding adult member for over 60 years with 50 years in Shopshire as a Ranger Leader, District Commissioner and an adviser for the outdoors and special needs. Wider afield she was a Region Trainer and adviser.
Jane continued her Guiding in the Trefoil Guild and was a staunch member of the International Scout & Guide Fellowship and a great supporter of SANGAM.
To quote a previous County Commissioner: “Jane was such a committed supporter of Girlguiding both in her role as a volunteer in uniform over the many years and also more recently as an advocate vice-president.” She will be missed.
Early in January 8 adults and leaders from Girlguiding Shropshire took part in a winter shamble in the hills above Llangollen. The group enjoyed fine blue skies and crispy snow under foot. The snow made the walk interesting but hard going so it was decided to shorten the planned 10km and take a shorter route back into Trevor where we enjoyed cakes and hot drinks.
