I am delighted that this blog is now to be used by all delegates who attended the Fifth World Centre pilot in Rwanda, to keep a record of what is happening with their projects. You may be relieved to know that this means that some blogposts will now be written by other people!
Just whilst you're reading - it's Volunteers' Week this week in the UK. When better to get involved with Girlguiding? Have a look here and find out more. Girlguiding needs more Leaders. Girlguiding provides members with opportunities which have positive impact on individuals. It provides a safe, girl-only environment for members to have fun, be challenged, to learn, to grow and to follow the section's programme, whilst making new friends and enjoying experiences together. Since being back from Rwanda, I've run a Brownie sleepover, taken my Guides to camp for the first time, planned a training for Young Leaders and their Leaders, written an article for WAGGGS magazine, been to the first meeting of the new local Young Leaders group, run a day to select 18-26 members for my Region's international service project next year, planned a comedy improvisation workshop for a County Day in June, and much more. Do you see the variety of opportunities that are available within Guiding? We all have busy lives, but why not incorporate some volunteering? Come on - it's up to you.
Whether you are interested in helping out with a unit, doing some admin for Guiding locally, fundraising, getting stuck into a particular project etc., there are opportunities waiting for you.
Ok - I will leave it there, but do keep reading as blogposts by new authors will be appearing imminently. Please continue to share the blog. Thank you. Helen BB
