Thinking about the Law
Do your Guides truly understand all parts of the Law?
Overview
- Give each Patrol a copy of the Guide Law. Ask them to discuss each part of the Law and to come up with some examples of how they could keep each one.
- Bring all the Patrols back together and have a group discussion, allowing each Patrol to feed back to everyone on their discussion.
- Once the group discussion has finished, get the girls to go back into their Patrols and put the parts of the Law in order of priority.
- Bring the Patrols back together and discuss each Patrol’s order of priority.
- As a unit, see if you can agree on the order. Discuss the lower-priority parts and suggest ways that they can be kept.
