Woo-hoo! We have a packed camp planned for next month with plenty of water activities. @Modibodi have kindly sent us a discount code so our Guides don’t have to worry about their periods in the water ❤️ @Girlguiding - a potential adventure partner?

Our Bronze DofE Guides had a brilliant time on their qualifying expedition this weekend! So proud of them all for persevering ❤️ @GuidingDerbys

Huge thank you to @Alpkit Foundation for awarding us a grant for DofE kit! Our unit is doing Bronze for the first time this year, and this will really help! ❤️ @GuidingDerbys @GGPeaksandDales

Can confirm this week’s mountain top moment, as their leader, was going along in my new powerchair to help teach map reading.

Our Bronze DofE group had a great time training @WhiteleyWoods! They’re super excited to plan their expedition now. Thanks so much to @GuidingDerbys for organising and providing the good snacks! ❤️

This idea, from our Year 8s and 9s, was especially interesting - we’ve talked about @MakeSpaceforGi1 and park design, and this is what our teenage girls want. It has a hot tub, trampolines, and a stage to perform on @GuidingDerbys @Girlguiding #ArchitectsForActionUMA

Some amazing designs for new community spaces by the Guides!

We were out for 13.5h and it was epic! We hope hope hope that Waddow is saved and we can do it all again next year ❤️

We went to #SparkleAndIce @WaddowHall and ran wild! Our 25 Guides went off in small groups and did whatever they chose.

And home via McDonalds and a stop to look at the moon, its halo, and Jupiter.

We’ve had a splendid camp at #ynysgain this week!

And now we’ve been on all the slides at SC2, and we’re on our way home, inventing new words to Crazy Moose!
