OUR MEETINGS

When people think of Guides, they might think of doing chores and sewing but they'd be wrong.  Guides has changed a lot over the years and is a lot of fun.  Our activities include Chocolate nights, fashion shows, sports events, cookouts, scavenger hunts and loads of other fun things. When you join Guides, you get to help make the decisions about what we're going to do.  Like last year, we decided to go to Legoland!  We're treated more like adults at Guides.  It's great to spend time with your friends where you can relax and have fun.  

We meet every Monday evening at a local school hall. When everyone has arrived we form into our patrols and march into a horseshoe formation.   Once we're in our horseshoe, we talk about what we'll be doing that night.  

Sometimes we break into groups and work on badges, or go outdoors for sports or a treasure hunt, or get creative and make a craft.  Sometimes we work on a Go For It in our patrols, or plan a big evening like a fashion show.  We've had fun with chocolate, tasted fruits from around the world and made piggies out of Easter eggs.  Many times there's more than one activity going on so we'll rotate around to make sure everyone has a chance to do everything.  

At the end of our meetings, we gather in our horseshoe again.  We're reminded of anything unusual we need to bring to the following meeting as well as any special events coming up.   

Finally, we'll sing taps and say goodnight.
