In order to participate in the 2020 Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) the Charleville Girl Guides had a sleepover at their hut. With iPads borrowed from Charleville School of Distance Education and a modem sponsored by Telstra the Guides were able to chat online with a range of Guides and Scouts from across the world. Some of the countries they reached included: * Thailand * Philippines * Indonesia * Canada * New Zealand * Malaysia * USA * Egypt * England * China * Japan * Malta * Uruguay * Pakistan * Italy * Cyprus |

Along with some Lone Guides, the 1st Charleville Girl Guides took on the challenge of completing the 2020 Great Guide Hike. The girls travelled to Morven to hike around the Tregole National Park.
In September 2020, the Charleville Girl Guides travelled out to Mangalore Scout Camp Ground for an afternoon of canoeing on the Warrego River. Guides learned about entering and exiting canoes, how to paddle to move and direct their canoes as well as safety on and around the water. Thank you to all the Guides and families who came out for the day.
In November 2020, the Queensland State Commissioner came to visit Charleville. She brought with her the Queensland State Standard for our girls to view. The girls asked lots of questions about what the State Commissioner does and learned about the history of our State Standard.
Congratulations to AH and AS for achieving their Queen's Guide in 2020! These Guides worked hard over several years completing a variety of personal challenges in order to achieve this amazing award. The two were lucky enough to celebrate their achievements with the State Commissioner, who visited with the State Standard for their award ceremony and celebration. BRAVO A and A!!
Thanks to the Department of Sport and Recreation and Karen Carter, Guides Qld Grants Officer, the Charleville Girl Guides now have a range of equipment they can use for games and challenges at their hut. Equipment purchased included: Cooperative Kits, markers, skipping ropes, hoops, balls, stilts and scooter boards – equipment we haven’t had for a long time and will now allow our Guides to be active outside through planning and carrying out their own activities and challenges. The girls have already tested out some of the new equipment in our first session back at the hut.
