12.01.2022 This week in Junior Guides it was a theme about air. So, to help demonstrate how air works, they got to make parachutes and helicopters. We had a competition between our three patrols to see who's parachute and helicopter could fly the fastest. Then the winners of each patrol competed to see which girl had the fastest of them. One perk of having a two storey Guide hut, the girls stood on the balcony to let their parachutes and helicopters go

Ukraine United Kingdom New Zealand The Netherlands And a Guide leader who told us about her trips to 3 of our World Centres; Our Chalet (Switzerland), Sangam (India), Pax Lodge (England) and all the other places she’s been with Guides around the world! What an amazing opportunity for our girls to be able to learn about Guiding around the world in our Zoom meeting!

03.01.2022 Yesterday we celebrated International Day of the Girl! Girl Guides and Girl Scouts across the world work to empower girls and young women and teach them how to be the leaders and change makers of our future. Young women can be strong and fierce in what they do, just as we have watched the likes of Joan of Arc, Malala and Greta Thunberg be across time. ... We have no doubt that the little leaders we have at Southport Girl Guides will be the change makers of the future, and are already. We can’t wait to see how they continue to leave their mark on the world for the better! #internationaldayofthegirl #IDG2020 #girlguides #girlpower #girlguidesgoplaces
