| Knebworth
District is
made up of 3 Guide Units, 5
Brownie Units and 2 Rainbow
Units. We also have a very strong
Young Leader section. The Guiders
in our District have over 173
years combined guiding
experience, with two of our
Brownie Guiders having just been
presented with awards for twenty
years service each to
Girlguiding.
That’s
a lot of camps, pack holidays,
crafts, adventures and badges.
| During
the summer some of our
Guides enjoyed a trip to
Austria. Others
camped at Phasels Wood. |
 |
Some
Guides visited Heartbeat
FM and were able to talk
live on air.Which was a
bit nerve racking for the
Guider in charge. Guides
in the District have also
worked towards their
‘Music Zone’
and ‘Party’
Badges along with the
‘Showtime’ Go
for it. |
| We
also have a new Guide
unit in Woolmer Green who
are currently looking to
increase their numbers. |
 |
Brownies
in the District have been
looking into how the
Brownie movement started
and learning about the
sorts of things that
Brownies used to do. This
has counted towards
gaining their Brownie
Traditions badge. |
| Others
have been on walks
through the local woods
and learned about compass
points and the stars. There
have been fashion shows
and archery competitions.
| One
unit went on a pack
holiday weekend where the
theme was the Olympic
Games. They made edible
olympic torches,
decorated scarves,
enjoyed fun running
games, such as a dressing
up race and also
participated in seeing
how it would be for
athletes with a
disability to compete in
a sport. |

|
 |
Rainbows
have been busy with
Halloween and Guy Fawkes
and are looking forward
to their Christmas Party. They
have also started the new
Rainbow programme and are
quite excited about it.
|
 |
The
Young Leader section are
looking to meet on a
regular basis which could
involve such activities
as bowling and ice
skating. |
