The event was attended by nearly 100 Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers, Leaders and helpers from Whitchurch and Prees.

Activities included Bollywood-style dancing, tasting Indian foods and mocktails, henna designs, making elephants and lotus flowers. District Commissioner, Rebecca Harding, visited Sangam in January and gave a short talk about her trip and all learnt the Indian greeting “Nam aste”.

Whitchurch 10K

A team of girls and leaders from Shropshire North Division partnered with Macmillan to support the marshalling of the Whitchurch 10K on Sunday 9th April 2017. Positioned around the course, we cheered on the runners and assisted them with queries and directions as part of our partnership with Macmillan this year. We had a stall in the school grounds and even managed to recruit a leader!

Don’t forget the Macmillan Challenge from Girlguiding Midlands…how will your unit take part?

BP Adventure Weekend

Posted by

Last weekend saw our latest Baden Powell Adventure take place in Coalbrookdale. Nine guides from units across the county came together to take part in their adventure. The girls tackled a murder mystery challenge around the Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge area in teams, as well as taking part in the Keep Britain Tidy #GBSpringClean by collecting any rubbish from the surrounding area.

Once back at the community centre, the girls were joined by 5 Young Leaders from the county for a fish and chip supper and then an evening of new activities to take back and share with their units. Everyone also had a go at maypole dancing.

On Sunday the girls walked to Blists Hill Museum, where they spent the afternoon before heading back to Coalbrookdale Community Centre for their awards ceremony.
