When they were deciding what they liked and disliked about the area where they live/meet and there was a unaninmous decision that we should have just coloured the maps in red as it would have been much simpler.

During the next week the Guides are taking pictures of the local area for the Guides Guide to the area and on Thursday we are going for a walk around our local area to take some more photos and list any problems etc (avoiding the Park as that is a no no after 6pm) and finishing at the Fish & Chip Shop. ]]> Guides saramb http://www.guiders.co.uk/showthread.php/41295-Streets-Ahead-Go-For-It!

Could anyone scan the relevant page for me? Or summarise what to do? I remember thinking cracking idea and volunteering to lead on it but not the detail.

I was thinking about doing something themed on singing, possibly called 'Lets Get Singing' or something. Also, I wanted to do it to raise some money for Rainbows Childrens Hospice.

'As the East Midlands’ only hospice for children and young people, Rainbows is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support. Our incredible team of people helps relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support parents and siblings through their bereavements and care for children until the end.'

I wouldn't be starting anything until late June after my exams, but I wondered if there would be any interest in something like this? ]]> Challenges alex122rw http://www.guiders.co.uk/showthread.php/41290-Would-there-be-interest Kicked out because of learning difficulties??

Mother is saying her daughter is being kicked out of Brownies because she has a learning difficulty. Story also gives details about leader's concerns about the girl kicking other brownies - something the comments have picked up on

Not good pr for GGUK but I personally think the commentors are probably right when they say it's probably due to her being violent rather than anything else.

I'd like to use the Lachmi Goes to India story next week while we're talking about the Queen and the Commonwealth, but mobile reception is a bit dodgy in our hall so am assuming mobile broadband would be equally dodgy, so watching it live from the website might be tricky!

Well we had a great evening last night with me as Owl taxi service to Brownies and Guides, as you can see I am the not very glam one......I think I need a makeover or a unit with less glamorous guiders in it!

The owl pictured is a tawny owl called Chopper and he's very friendly, he fell from the nest and is now imprinted with human so cant be released back into the wild, Scott from Bradford Birds of Prey has only had him since November.

During the evening the girls voted for Luna as the name for a new rescue bird, another one that cant be released so will be looking for an experienced foster home.

Scott is an ex-scouter which probably explains a lot.....
