Distribution may be a problem in some areas because the Scouts are unable to help us this time, however Hazel & Keith Henser and Lesley Pimley will mobilise the troops and find new volunteers to fill the gaps. Almost everyone will receive this Beadle in early December, and there will be extras available in the Post Office, Chunkies Chippy, Beadles Tea Room, churches and hairdressers etc. Check First!

Well, what a strange and challenging year this has been! Girlguiding, like every other organisation, has had to adapt to a very different way of working. The first lockdown caught us, like everyone else, by surprise. Without any chance to prepare any alternatives, we just had to stop everything. Thus there were no face to face meetings for the whole summer term. Some packs started trying meetings online, with varying amounts of success. Keeping the girls attention proved quite difficult, although a virtual escape room was very successful. In July, once things started opening up again, some units made plans to meet up outdoors, so the girls could have some fun. Of course this involved a lot of extra paperwork, producing risk assessments to get permission to meet. As a result some packs managed one or two meetings outdoors during August. Those who managed to meet had a really good time. 7 Also in the summer a huge virtual sleepover was held for the girls, it had breakout rooms and many different activities and was greatly enjoyed by all. This term, more packs are meeting online. Some had started planning face to face meetings, but obviously this was once again stopped. Girlguiding has now started adapting the programme so that it works better online. This is a great help to those who are meeting and is enabling the girls to make progress with their usual badge work. Who knows what will happen next year? One thing is sure though, Girlguiding will still be finding ways to enable girls to come together, for the sake of their development and welfare. Not to mention having plenty of fun in a safe, secure environment.
