Congratulations to Juniors

Awards (Junior BP, Badges, Juniors

Congratulations Juniors on your badge work last night! I was inspired by your achievements to strive to be a girl guide! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ seeing guides learn how to treat a blood nose, learn about fire safety, learn to plait & find challenges to do at home! Your enthusiasm & dedication makes our unit awesome! 

Many over 8 year olds could be working towards their action guide (at back of look wide book) or junior bp. Have a look & bring along next week. 

Thank you again to Louise (Daisy & Belle’s mum) for being our badge supervisor. Without your help we couldn’t tick off 13 badges last night👍 

So if you want some assistance bring your badge work along next week (last week this term for badges). Let’s help you to earn badges over school holidays. 

Love ❤️ Bickie 😝

ANZAC DAY – Medals & Uniform

Anzac Day, Badges, Girl Guides Victoria, Uniform

Advice on wearing relatives medals with your uniform at ANZAC services and marches: The RSL advice is that when worn by others, medals are worn on the right side to show that the wearer is not the original recipient. When a Guide is in uniform, if no sash is worn, medals are worn in a horizontal line on the right side, in line with the GGA logo. If a girl is wearing a sash, medals should be worn in a horizontal line across the sash, in line with the GGA logo. Leaders/parents should consider pinning/fixing the sash under the collar to prevent the weight of the medals shifting the sash.
