What do Guides do?
Thinking about becoming a Guide but not quite sure what it's like? Read what the Guides themselves have to say about it below.
Haleema, 13 - I like everything about guiding. We've done horse
riding and camping. I'm more confident in myself and I've made lots
of friends.
Rosie, 10 - Guiding is lots of fun because you get to go on lots of
trips and you meet your friends every week at the unit. My top
moment was visiting Howletts Zoo - it was really great seeing all
the animals. We held animal poo!
Rebecca and Laura, 14 - We did our Baden-Powell Challenge in
Norfolk. When we weren't filming and interviewing we were doing some
of the centre's activities such as abseiling, archery, go-karting
and rock climbing.
Heather, 14 - At the BIG GIG (the annual pop concert attended by
25,000 Guides!), the whole arena was filled with flashing bunny
ears, glow sticks and Guides wearing BIG GIG T-shirts. How fantastic
- thousands of girls under one roof - girl power at its best! All of
the acts were incredible and received huge cheers. The gig came to a
close at 10pm as tons of confetti burst over the crowds. I wanted it
to carry on.
