✨ Our Board members from all corners of Europe are in Brussels this weekend!

🇪🇺 Together, they have a very important message for the Member States and the @EUCouncil:

📢Make rape an offence in the EU Directive to combat violence against women!

#ActAgainstRape

Thinking of all my @girlguidingbgo friends especially on this World Mental Health day. It has been an incredibly tough year for us but we stuck together and have helped each other through. Thank you to all of my sisters in Guiding. 😘

What an incredible story from a sister in @girlguidingbgo
@Girlguiding has provided hope and stability for girls overseas for over a hundred years, through the best and the worst times. Our friendships will continue even though operations cease due to 'risk'.

'We decided to make a quilt. It's now in the Imperial War Museum.'

Olga Henderson was 13 in 1945 & survived starvation in a POW camp in Singapore.

She tells us how she made a quilt for her #GirlGuiding leader whilst being held as an internee. It now hangs in the @I_W_M 🎧⬇️

While organizing my GirlGuiding papers in preparation of finally closing our unit, I came over my Safeguarding pocket. Wondering how 'Communicate with others in an open and respectful way' works together with giving @girlguidingbgo no explanations for @Chief_Guide @Girlguiding?!

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

@Girlguiding Love the badges! I know lots of girls who will love them and who love @Girlguiding, but they're being thrown out and excluded in a near sighted decision from trustees who clearly don't see the benefits of @girlguidingbgo for girls overseas. #SailingWithBGO

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

I loved teaching @DrImelauer daughter Thunderation. I've loved teaching it to every unit I've led. Just like @kayeadams daughter - I loved teaching her too when she was in my unit. But Girlguiding are cruelly taking the guiding they love away from girls and leaders overseas!

[Christine Dr. Imelauer-Siegner @DrImelauer]

Since my little Rainbow learned „Thunder, thunder. thunderation“ in camp. it’s her new favorite song. @tracyfoster268 do you have any idea how much you harm our girls by taking @girlguidingbgo away from them?

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

@DrImelauer @Girlguiding @girlguidingbgo Thank you! 💙💙💙

[British Girlguiding Overseas @girlguidingbgo]

BGO Singapore had their final camp last Friday at Camp Christine! We went out with a bang....a loud and heartbroken bang.
All units closed this week, and it's been a week of high emotions.

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

If you spot a tired and crying guider on a train to Berlin today, that'll be me. These girls NEED @Girlguiding and it means so much to them. I'm so grateful I got to be part of their Guiding journeys and I'm heartbroken that they've only got 3 meetings left. 💔💔 #SailingWithBGO

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

My first ever @girlguidingbgo experience was a couple of nights with 1st Munich Brownies in 2013, and I've just spent my first and last BGO Brownie pack holiday with them (though none of us actually remembered each other!). It's funny how things work out! #SailingWithBGO

[Christine Dr. Imelauer-Siegner @DrImelauer]

@Girlguiding At the @girlguidingbgo Brownies Take Action Camp we joined our sisters in guiding tonight #sailingwithbgo #SaveOurCentres #Thunderation

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

It was an honour to award thanks badges, a BGO good service award, and help two leaders complete their Going Away With qualifications. Congratulations Congratulations @DrImelauer, Sabine, Sue, and Carole!
🎉🎉🎉 #SailingWithBGO

[Dr. Vicki Henderson @VickiAHend]

Absolutely loved my first and last @girlguidingbgo Brownie camp. I had a fabulous time, I'd never met anyone there before (or at least barely) but in true guiding sister style it was like I was part of their units. Thank you for welcoming me 💙💙💙 #SailingWithBGO

[Christine Dr. Imelauer-Siegner @DrImelauer]

@Girlguiding Tonight our Brownies at 1st Starnberg @girlguidingbgo had their first campfire and S’mores together. It was a perfect evening. with camp songs and laughter in the air. We‘re heartbroken that it was also our last campfire together due to @Girlguiding decision!

[Christine Dr. Imelauer-Siegner @DrImelauer]

Though our guiding bubble @girlguidingbgo has been popped by @Girlguiding our girls had a great time doing „guiding in bubbles“. They are eager trying to get their last UMAs and SB as they are working hard to get their Bronze, Silber and Gold Awards before they are inactivated!

[Christine Dr. Imelauer-Siegner @DrImelauer]

@Girlguiding After a great start yesterday with making new friends and enjoying lots of fun activities we had an early start into today and are ready for the adventures @girlguidingbgo waiting for us. How can @Chief_Guide deny our girls these experiences without any explanation?
