I'm a member of SSAGO!

Lora HarveyMeet Lora. She's the chair of Northampton SSAGO (SAGUN - Scouts and Guides of the University of Northampton).

What does your role involve?

My role as Chair of SAGUN is to have lots of fun! I also have to do things such as paper work and organise a stand at fresher fairs so everyone knows we exist and we can get more members. This year I have organised a fresher camp. I also have to ensure we do loads of fantastic activities.

What do you love most about guiding?

The friendships that you make. No matter where you go with guiding there are always new friends to be made, I now have many friends in lots of different countries who I would have never met if it wasn't for guiding.

What guiding achievement are you most proud of?

My Queen's Guide Award - There was time throughout the three year that I thought I would never complete it! However I did and I got so much out of it, I did things I would never have had the guts to go and do otherwise and I loved them so much that I'm still doing them now!
Its thanks to guiding and some of the stuff I did and the people I met during my Queen's Guide Award that I'm now at university.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about becoming a Senior Section member and taking on your role?

SSAGO is so much fun, its a great group to get involved with and if the university your going to doesn't have one you can still join SSAGO as an indie (independent member) or even better you can set up your own group.
