The opportunities, events, trainings and adventures that have taken place have ensured that our 4000 members have had the chance to accomplish their goals, learn new skills and make new friends. Our year started out with the 3rd annual Girl Guides at the Oil Kings hockey game on January 1st. We love to start out the year with a big bang! As is tradition, the winter months also bring the Friendship camps. Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers each had the chance to get outside and camp while making friends from all over the Area. These camps are extremely popular and fill up quickly, showing how much girls love to camp! February brought on the new Commissioner’s Challenge for 2018, where units were tasked to collect as many dimes as they could and then build something cool with them.
