2012bells




HAPPY NEW YEAR


I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that you all had a great Christmas.


The time just appears to be passing so quickly or is that just me?

At the Annual Review in November, 2010 I said that after all the activities and events of the Centenary, 2011 would be the year for Girlguiding Edinburgh to settle back into working within the units.


Well, 2011 has seen units going on various International trips, one of our leaders going on a GOLD trip to Fiji, 3 Queen’s Guides, 50 year long service award, several Guide units going to the Big Gig in London, sleepovers, pack holidays and camps and an incredible number of ALQs, residential licences, BP and Chief Guide Awards, Camp Permits being achieved. Congratulations to all recipients of an award or qualification in 2011.

Thank you also to all the leaders who attended the various trainings, working groups, etc held during the year.

In 2012 we are looking forward to the “Archives” week in EHQ, Brownie Trip to London, Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Guides going to Ayrwaves, Rainbows’ 25th Celebrations. Plus, receiving the applications for Festival Adventure 2013.

Thank you for all the support and personal time you have given to Girlguiding in 2011.

ENJOY GIRLGUIDING IN 2012!
