Guiding in P&TG<br />
Hello <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> readers! We are gearing up,<br />
in the Kingswood Division, for the start of a<br />
new term following the Summer break.<br />
Planning meetings have been taken place and<br />
exciting ideas bounced around to welcome the<br />
Brownies and Guides back into their packs. We<br />
are all anticipating noisy first meetings, as the<br />
girls are reunited after their holidays! The<br />
Guides have started working on the Madagascar<br />
Challenge Badge, they’ve already played Gecko<br />
Drive (like Beetle Drive) and learnt more about<br />
the country through a general knowledge quiz.<br />
The badge has been created by a Young Leader<br />
in Holmer Green to help fund her service trip to<br />
Madagascar where she will be working in an<br />
early childhood development centre to help<br />
local children to read, write and count. The<br />
Guides have also managed to fit in a camp to<br />
Willow Trees in Harefield where they<br />
participated in team building challenges and<br />
were rewarded for their efforts over the<br />
weekend by achieving their Camp Stage 4 Skill<br />
Builder badge! Just after the term finished in<br />
July one of the Guides undertook the brave<br />
challenge of a sponsored haircut in memory of<br />
her Nanny with her hair donated to the Little<br />
Princess Trust and the money raised to the<br />
Rennie Grove Hospice Care, and has so far well<br />
exceeded her initial target, well done Rose! See<br />

In a fit of madness, I decided to participate in<br />
the Shine 2018 Night Walk for Cancer Research<br />
UK, but emergency surgery just a few weeks<br />
before the event forced me to pull out last<br />
minute, so I’m taking part this year on Saturday<br />
21st September. Training has been hampered<br />
with injuries but I’m raring to go now and<br />
looking forward to completing the 26 miles<br />
overnight! If you fancy sponsoring a pound or<br />
two to an extremely important cause please see<br />

In July, the Kingswood Trefoil Guild<br />
thoroughly enjoyed a lovely cream tea at the<br />
Hazlemere Golf Club overlooking the golf<br />
course, they highly recommend the venue!<br />
Sadly the BBQ planned for August had to be<br />
cancelled but they are now looking forwards to<br />
