Lesley Green, a Guide and Rainbow leader and former Newport District Commissioner was awarded her 40y brooch by the County Commissioner during a celebration meal with other Newport leaders on Friday 2nd May.
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.
Pat Whitfield was awarded the prestigious Girlguiding Laural Award by Clare Shinton the Midland Region Commissioner in front of 60 Girlguiding guests, friends and family at a special event in Market Drayton on Sat 9th November.
Sophie Bayliss, a leader with Girlguiding Shropshire, was presented with her Queen’s Guide Award by Megan Phillips (Queen’s Guide Coordinator) yesterday evening at Hodnet Hall.
The Queen’s Guide Award is the highest award in Girlguiding and is open to all members 18-30.
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.
Congratulations to 7 of our young members who completed their Peer Education training this weekend! (24/25 Jan) Peer educators are 14–25-year-olds who help Brownies, Guides and Rangers explore important topics. As young people, they use their own experience to bring the subject to life. Peer educators run safe, fun and challenging sessions which are developed with expert partners.
