Mostly fearless, totally fun

Fearless Fun was an action-packed weekend full of exciting and challenging activities that allowed the girls to push themselves and conquer their fears.

It took place at Blackland Farm, Foxlease and Waddow Hall in September. Marie, Leader of 10th Lee South Guides tells us how her unit got on.

It was a great introduction to camping for our unit as our tents were pitched for us and all the activities were planned. It was our first camp but it won’t be our last! - Marie, 10th Lee South Guides 

Fearless Fun “was the funnest thing ever!” according to the girls! All weekend everyone was able to take part and do their best. For some, this was reaching the very top of Jacob’s Ladder, for others, it was climbing the first few rungs. All felt a great sense of achievement.

I really liked the activities; some of them I wouldn’t have done before as they were out of my comfort zone - Sophia

The Guides were thrilled to go climbing and it helped one Guide conquer her fear of heights. Tubing was also a hit at Blackland Farm, with most Guides having multiple turns. Even the leaders had a go ... but they weren’t quite as fearless as the Guides!

I really enjoyed Fearless Fun because I got to spend lots of time with my friends doing a wide variety of activities and we had a bonfire. The food was delicious and the night cafe sold lovely goods like hot chocolate, waffles and chips. It was a memorable weekend and I would really like to go again next year. I think other Guides would really enjoy it - Charlotte, 10, 1^st Broadwindsor Guides 

The camp was a great way for everyone to make new friends – everyone was included and we all cheered each other on.

The first day we did campcrafts (fire making, shelter building) which were epic! Great day! The next day we went on the traverse wall which I really enjoyed, and I made it all the way up hooray! Mostly fearless, totally fun! - Eleanor, 11, 1^st Broadwindsor Guides 

I loved the weekend and I’m so glad we got a place! - Millie-Jane, 12, 1^st Broadwindsor Guides
