Well July already…. How did that happen?
What cracking weather we have had – an opportunity to do all the outside things. Lets hope the dry weather continues (if a little less muggy) for the camping and holiday season.
So many of you are heading away with your units – thank you for giving up your holiday to give our young members a chance to experience holidays away from their families. Our Brownies go away as three units together to help us spread the load and I understand this year I am the white rabbit – constantly late for an important date!
Last week I went to the Gentian meal. So lovely to meet with all the current and ex- leaders who have been awarded this special award. The quiz was a bit too difficult this time – note for next year!
In the next week or so I will be visiting several Division meetings, going to the watersports events, learning to needlefelt and finalising the GAW taster camp. With camps in mind we are thinking of a county camp on 2026. There is a survey coming out for your to do with your girls or for them to do with their parents. Please do answer it so we know if a County Camp is what people really want.
Finally, watch out for the last minute opportunity to take Brownies and Guides to Brownsea and the adults events that have been organised.
I hope to see you at one event or another over the next few weeks. Come and say hi.
