The Guides have been working on their Ropes badge and learning a range of knots and lashings. In order to test out their knowledge the girls were challenged to build washstands (that they could use on camps to do the washing up or modify to make tables) and gateways to show where their campsites are.
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.
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!!
As part of their Outdoors Badge the 1st Charleville Girl Guides went on an adventure to the local Skate Park. With bikes, scooters, a skateboard and some skates - we all wheeled it from the Guide Hut to the Skate Park where the girls had a great time exploring and challenging themselves before heading back again.
L and L, two of our 1st Charleville Girl Guides, celebrated achieving their Junior BP Awards with lots of colour at a ceremony at the Guide Hut with their fellow Guides. The Junior BP is one of three peak awards in Guiding and involves completing challenges in Promise and Law, World Guiding, Service, Outdoors, Patrol System and Guiding Traditions. Leader, Currawong, presented the girls with their awards, a rainbow cake and special rainbow hats for the occasion and read out the challenges the Guides had completed over that last 18 months. BRAVO L and L!!
Celebrations continued on the following weekend with girls holding a birthday party for Lord and Lady BP that they planned themselves. There were games, party food, super hero masks and a piñata.
