21.01.2022 Congratulations to Nancy Royale of Wellington who is the winner of the giant 4.5kg Toblerone raffle, drawn at the monthly Rotary Markets in Cameron Park today. (Actually, the first name drawn was Rotarian Viv Wellington, who very kindly donated the prize back, then drew Nancy's name out!) Yet again Wellington Girl Guides are grateful for the generous support of the community, particularly to NJ Jewellers who had the Toblerone on display in their shop for several weeks and sold raffle tickets for us

19.01.2022 THE LEFT HANDSHAKE By Lady Baden Powell When my husband was in West Africa on that campaign in 1895-96 he heard of the legend of two tribes who lived next door... to one another and were always having trouble and even wars between them. This was very bad and disastrous for both, with cattle thieving and so on. Then the very fine Chief of one of them realizing how wrong it was, gathered his councillors together and they then decided not to have fighting again, but to try to come to terms with their warrior neighbours. So when, after a time, the enemy came advancing towards them expecting them also to advance and start fighting, this good army stood still instead of advancing to attack back. There was a code of honour which said that an unarmed man who could not defend himself was never attacked, so this good chief of the peace-loving tribe dropped his arms and walked slowly out ahead of his men and after standing alone for a moment walked towards the enemy (who had stopped with surprise at this unexpected turn of events) and, holding out his left hand after flinging down his shield and spears, said: I come unarmed and I hold out my left hand to you as a sign of friendship and trust. We are neighbours and should not live in enmity. From now on we wish to live in peace and we trust you to do the same and be friends. Well, all those years later when my husband founded the Boy Scouts he knew that boys and girls like secret signs and so he suggested that we should have and use this secret sign of shaking hands differently from the ordinary way. As we all in our Movement truly trust each other, this method of our own shaking with the left hand instead of the right, would be used throughout the Movement." PS there are a few different versions of the reason behind the left handshake, but this is the one Girl Guides generally uses. PPS when we are allowed to shake hands again, we mean!
