27th July to 31st July 2024 The Girlguiding Shropshire County Camp took place on the Newport Showground. 356 girls and leaders had a fantastic time taking part in a variety of activities including canoeing, climbing, team challenges and archery. They were joined on the Sunday by 200 Brownie and Rainbow visitors who also took part in the fun. The evenings had camp fires, silent discos and films. All of the girls said it was the best camp ever helped by some amazing weather.
Lauren and Grace from Bridgnorth Guides were able to make WAVES camp even more memorable, as they made their Guide promises whilst they were away.
WAVES camp took place in the summer holidays at Blackwell Adventure and saw over 350 guides from Shropshire come together to form Pacific, Arctic and Indian sub-camps and face a week of fun and adventure.
On Tuesday evening the whole camp got together at the campfire circle for an evening of singing traditional (and some not so traditional) campfire songs, which is where the girls chose to make their promise.
