1st Downham Go For It!

Throughout May 1^st  Downham Market Guides  have been working on Go For Its.  Each patrol choose a different GFI and over four weeks completed various activities and tasks.

The final evening was run by a patrol who were doing GFI Parties. They planned and ran a Golden Guides Awards evening.

It was excellent, even included a red carpet! There was a mocktail bar and amazing cupcakes.

Guides had been asked to vote on various categories such as most organised Guide, most helpful etc. and, as with the Oscars, (although no wrong envelopes here) not everyone got a prize, but all participated.

The evening ended with an impromptu disco and dance off.

Well done Mia, Katie, Lauren and Anya it was a truly excellent night which we all enjoyed so much.

I Will Survive Go For It

During the summer term, 2nd Downham Market Guides worked on their I Will Survive Go For It.  Girls practised compass work and grid referencing and were challenged to tie knots, perform first aid and eat things you might find in the wild.

We were very lucky to have Scout Leader, Bob, visit out unit and to teach all sorts of skills including fire lighting and we also went for a visit to the Scout Hut in Runcton Holme where Bob taught Archery - even Dolphin hit the target despite her belief that she wouldn't!  The evening was finished with S'mores around the campfire.
