Times for Girl Guides

Gumnuts, Juniors, Kingston District, Pre-Rangers, Program, Rangers, Seniors

Hi All,

Juniors / Gumnuts – 6:00pm to 7:15pm

Seniors – 7:00pm – 8:30pm

Pre-Rangers / Rangers – 7:00pm to 8:30pm

As you might be aware, we have over 50+ girls on our database across all age groups…… We ask that you move swiftly in & out of the hall to maximise the time the guides have with their program. Time is of the essence & we enjoy a dynamic program packed full of exciting stuff! Parents hanging around or chatting at the entrance only distracts our guides & can take our leaders away from the activities planned. If you wish to chat to other parents, we hope that the weather is kind for you to have it outside the hall! We do love networking, but are finding it difficult with the level of noise inside the hall.

If you wish to speak to the leaders, we ask if you can email (carrumguides@outlook.com) or message us if you need to chat for than a few minutes so we can concentrate on the program we have created.

Did you know we are all volunteers. Did you know that we give up a lot of time outside girl guide times for programming, training & meetings. Did you know we are sometimes at the hall till 9:00pm or so packing/cleaning up.

We love what we do, but with so many girls, we need to ensure our program runs smoothly to fit everything in. We appreciate your understanding & look forward to an exciting 2020.

Campfire Songs and Games

Seniors

It was a bitterly cold night, and we were all so much relieved when there was a campfire laid outside. We congregated around the flickering tongues of orange flame, and the heat warmed our frigid hands.

To start, I ran the campfire as a challenge for my BP. We sang three different well-known songs; ‘There Ain’t no Flies on us’, ‘The Bumblebee Song’ and ‘Little Cottage in the Woods’.  Everyone knew the words, and it was very much fun to laugh together while singing.

After the warm and comforting campfire, we remained outside, and Sierra took over with a challenge for her BP. It was an acting game, that made us reflect on the Girl Guide promise and law. We started out in patrols, and each had to create a short skit as fast as we could, for the other patrols to guess. Sierra did a great job running the activity, and I’m sure I speak on behalf of all the girl guides who participated when I say that it was very fun and well-organized.

That was our campfire night at Girl Guides, much fun and excitement had. It is always very enjoyable when girls run the evening.
