Our leader and District Manager, Kookaburra, was presented with a unique gift from one of the very talented Guides and her mother - a kookaburra made from an old Girl Guide Uniform shirt. What a special gift indeed!

Let's take a hike!! We put on our hats and shoes and grabbed our water bottles and headed off on an adventure around the streets of Charleville to complete this year's hike. At the end of the afternoon of lots of walking we treated ourselves to a healthy snack.
For this year's Promise Ceremony the members of 1st Charleville Guides and 2nd Charleville (Lone) Guides were joined by family and friends at the Guide Hut on dusk for a special candlelight ceremony. Each member either made their Promise for the time or renewed their Promise for another year. Some of the girls were joined by their mothers (ex-Guides or Support Group Members) and a grandmother who also renewed their Promise. After saying their Promise in front of the crowd, each Guide lit a candle from our main Guiding Lighting (representing the Promise) and floated it in a pool of water (representing our community). The end result showing how much brighter our community is with so many girls and young women committed to the Guiding way.
We returned to Mangalore Scout Camping Ground for an afternoon of canoeing. While the water was a little cool, the girls had a great time developing their skills and learning about safety on and near the water. Many of the girls achieved parts of their boating badge throughout the afternoon. Thank you to all the parents who came and helped out on the day.
As we start 2021, our Guides took the opportunity to take individual photos: come and meet some of our members.
